New research challenges dark matter theory in galaxy formation
The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.
James Webb Space Telescope finds galaxies pointing toward a dark matter alternative
A group of astronomers analyzing data from the James Webb Space Telescope ( JWST) say some of the oldest galaxies in our universe appear much larger and brighter than expected, suggesting they formed early and grew rapidly — potentially without the influence of dark matter.
