Scientists are saying that Webb has found a strange galaxy which was formed about 13 billion years ago. You might wonder what the big surprise is since galaxies may have existed only 200-250 million years after the Big Bang. Well, you are right that it is not surprising if we found galaxies only a few billion years after the Big Bang. But, this new galaxy discovered by the Webb telescope is not what our theories had predicted. And scientists claim that if we found more such galaxies in the early universe it could pose a serious problem to our understanding of the universe. Karl Glazebrook, A Distinguished Professor at Swinburne University of Technology, who used the JWST for spectroscopic observations of this massive quiescent galaxy recently in said that "Webb has been finding increasing evidence for massive galaxies forming early in time. This result sets a new record for this phenomenon. Although it is very striking, it is only one object. But we hope to find more, and if we do, this will really upset our ideas of galaxy formation". Well, the existence of this galaxy is showing us a universe that has no beginning and that it repeats itself not only across space but also backwards in time. So let's delve deeper into this amazing discovery and understand why the existence of such galaxies is a big problem for astronomy. #jwst #webbtelescope #webbtelescopeupdates #bigbangtheory #bigbang #astronomy #galaxies #earlyuniverse #nasa
