'The models just don't predict this...'
— a finding that challenges, and will likely rewrite, long-held understandings about the origins of our universe.
"The models just don't predict this," Garth Illingworth, an astronomer at the University of California at Santa Cruz, told. "How do you do this in the universe at such an early time? How do you form so many stars so quickly?"explains, older images of the universe — as captured by the recently dethroned Hubble Space Telescope — seemingly confirmed the widespread belief that early galaxies were chaotic, haphazard places.
"We thought the early universe was this chaotic place where there's all these clumps of star formation, and things are all a-jumble," the Space Telescope Science Institute's Dan Coe told, adding later that, before the JWST was launched into orbit, Hubble's imagery was "missing all the colder stars and the older stars. We were really only seeing the hot young ones.
And really, discoveries like this mean that the JWST is doing exactly what scientists want it to do — it's revealing new, exciting stuff about our
