BREAKING THE UNIVERSE AS WE KNOW IT

 Hey, Space Placers!

James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is making observations that are "breaking our Universe" as we know it.

How?

By finding massive and compact galaxies that are only 500 million years old. 

This is a totally unexpected (and very exciting if confirmed by more observations) finding.

Here are two articles to get you up to speed.

JWST is doing exactly what astronomers hoped it would do - make observations that make new discoveries that require new thinking.

PS Be sure to watch the planetary dance in the West as it gets dark after sunset. Jupiter and Venus will be closest 3/1/23.
