An article in publication in “The Astrophysical Journal” reports the results of observations of early galaxies that show strange shapes, decidedly different from the ones we’re used to and compared to bananas and even breadsticks. A team of researchers led by Viraj Pandya of Columbia University used observations conducted with the James Webb Space Telescope as part of the CEERS survey from which they obtained images of galaxies dating back to a period between 600 million and 6 billion years after the Big Bang.
