The James Webb Space Telescope zooms in on galaxies of various sizes, colors and shapes.

Considering the two types of galaxies seen in the local universe already exist in the universe 8 billion years ago, the initial findings showed that concentrated elliptical galaxies formed from ...

Professor Conselice continues: "These JWST results show that disk galaxies like our own Milky Way, are the most common type of galaxy in the Universe.

This so-called quasi-stellar object (or quasar) was just the first type to be found of what are now called active galaxies — galaxies with high-energy physics occurring at their cores.

Professor Conselice continues, "These JWST results show that disk galaxies like our own Milky Way, are the most common type of galaxy in the universe.

Galaxies from the early Universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in the Universe, according ...
