  London, UK (SPX) Oct 13, 2024 Astronomers using the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have observed the earliest instance of 'inside-out' galaxy growth, dating back just 700 million years after the Big Bang. This discovery sheds new light on galaxy formation in the early universe. Though 100 times smaller than the Milky Way, the galaxy observed appears remarkably advanced for its age. It features a dense central core of stars, surrounded by less dense outer regions where star formation is accelerating - a process like ... read more |
