Unveiling the Mysteries of Disk Galaxies
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made significant strides in our understanding of disk galaxies. These galaxies, including our own Milky Way, feature a flat, rotating stellar disk. The JWST’s advanced technology allows astronomers to observe the structural evolution of these fascinating cosmic entities.
Disk galaxies typically showcase two main components: the central bulge and the surrounding disk. The JWST’s observations provide insights into how these structures change over time, revealing the dynamic processes that govern their formation and evolution. This groundbreaking work enhances our understanding of not only our galaxy but also the universe’s history.
