Scientists puzzled because James Webb is seeing stuff that shouldn't be there
- rektide 4y agoLink to relevant paper, looking at shape/form of redshifted (far away) galaxies under heavy lensing (high interstellar magnification). "First Rest-Frame Optical Observation of Galaxy at Z3 with JWST in Smacs 0723 Field" https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09428 https://arxiv.org/abs/2207.09428 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32617937 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32617937 This is more or less what JWST's soverign purpose was, now seemingly semi-complete: looking as far back/away as possible, and seeing what the shape of galaxies were at those reaches.

- simonblack 4y agoBecause space is curved, if you look far enough you should be seeing the back of your head. Maybe those sophisticated-structure galaxies that are 'way out there' are some of our close neighbors.
