JWST Finds Early Galaxies Shaped Like Surfboards & Pool Noodles #jwst #universe #jameswebbspacetelescope Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24 The James Webb Space Telescope reveals early galaxies resembling surfboards and pool noodles, shaped by the cosmic web's filaments. These elongated galaxies, common in the universe's youth, evolved into today's disc-like forms. JWST's findings, building on Hubble's legacy, show these early structures influenced by dark matter haloes and frequent mergers. Over billions of years, as cosmic filaments dispersed and mergers slowed, galaxies began to spin into oblate, disc-like shapes. This discovery enhances our understanding of galactic evolution and the cosmic web's role in shaping the universe's history.
