More JWST Observations are Finding Fewer Early Massive Galaxies


Astronomers using JWST were surprised to find mature-looking galaxies in the early Universe; they challenged existing models of cosmology. Astronomers wanted to see if these were ubiquitous, so they examined 19 galaxies in a different part of the sky. They measured high-redshift galaxies but did not find the same unusual mass distribution. This led them to suggest that those initial discoveries were outliers and not indicative of the early Universe.
