New findings from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that newborn galaxies in the early universe had unexpected shapes, resembling bananas, pickles, cigars, or surfboards rather than the orbs and discs previously assumed. This surprising conclusion, to be detailed in an upcoming paper, challenges existing theories about galaxy formation and could provide insights into the nature of dark matter. Astronomers are intrigued by these findings and are eager to further investigate this potentially groundbreaking discovery.
