Researchers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have studied an infant galaxy just 700 million years after the Big Bang, providing insights into how star formation in early galaxies differs from today.

Observed as part of the JWST Advanced Extragalactic Survey (JADES), this galaxy showed a dense core with star concentrations similar to modern galaxies but exhibited active star formation farther from the core, confirming a predicted “inside-out” growth pattern.

The research revealed that the galaxy’s outer disc was doubling its stellar mass every 10 million years, with newborn stars likely migrating towards the center, Space.com has reported.
