at them, they have sort of perfect spiral arms. you can see that these galaxies in the early universe already have those mature structures. so, in that sense, it s really changing scientific thinking. this isn t the only discovery that s shaking up the early cosmos. the telescope is also spotting a surprising abundance of giant black holes. black holes are scattered throughout the universe. this is the one at the centre of our own milky way. they form when a massive star dies and collapses in on itself. what we re now finding with jwst is surprisingly large black holes already existing quite early on in the universe s history, when there hasn t been time to go through this process of stars forming and living their lives. so what that suggests is that actually, these black holes are completely skipping the star formation part of the process. we re also seeing the unexpected, closer to home, bizarre, planet like objects nicknamed jumbos. this is the orion nebula,

what we re now finding with jwst is surprisingly large black holes already existing quite early on in the universe s history, when there hasn t been time to go through this process of stars forming and living their lives. so what that suggests is that actually, these black holes are completely skipping the star formation part of the process. we re also seeing the unexpected, closer to home, bizarre, planet like objects nicknamed jumbos. this is the orion nebula, a star forming region in the milky way. but look a little closer, and there s something incredibly strange huge planet like objects floating free, not tethered to any star, these tiny pairs of light here. they re called jupiter mass binary objects orjumbos and they ve left astronomers scratching their heads. nobody predicted or expected you would see objects the size ofjupiter orbiting around each other, freely floating. we thought we would see
