Astronomers have made groundbreaking discoveries about the structural evolution of disk galaxies. By analyzing a statistical sample of 111 edge-on disk galaxies, they traced their development over time, reaching back as far as 11 billion years ago. This research utilizes archival data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, revealing insights into the universe’s early stages, roughly 2.8 billion years after the Big Bang.
The findings shed light on how these galaxies have transformed over billions of years. Understanding their evolution helps astronomers piece together the history of our universe. The detailed observations from the Webb Telescope enable researchers to study the characteristics of these distant galaxies, providing a clearer picture of cosmic evolution.
