The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spotted a strange “inside-out” galaxy at the beginning of the universe.
The galaxy, named JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097, existed just 700 million years after the Big Bang and is roughly 100 times smaller than the Milky Way. Yet, unlike most galaxies, its growth seems to have occurred inside-out — with stars forming more rapidly on the outskirts than inside its dense core.
