Astronomers analysing images from the James Webb Space Telescope have challenged long-held assumptions about the appearance of newborn galaxies. Contrary to the widely held belief that they would resemble orbs or spidery discs, the tentative conclusion from a team of astronomers suggests their shapes were akin to bananas, pickles, cigars, or surfboards.

Scientists reveal how newborn galaxies went bananas at dawn of time but it’s not all about shape

When our solar system formed, the Sun was the first to form out of clumps of gaseous clouds that came together, collapsed under their own gravity and eventually kickstarted nuclear fusion as more and more material 'fell' into the still-forming Sun.

The James Webb Telescope, since its launch, has been humanity's most advanced 'eye in the sky'. The Hubble Space Telescope is still working and sending us images of the universe yes, but the addition of the James Webb Space Telescope has enabled us to view the universe in literally a new light.

The largest and most powerful space telescope to date is observing a serious glitch. NASA scientists have observed a sensor glitch with a James Webb Space Telescope’s key instrument. The US space agency and its partners are investigating the issue. The glitch was found during a routine performance monitoring & calibration of all 17 observing modes.
