Platypus Galaxies: JWST’s Baby Cosmic Objects Spark Astronomical Debate
What JWST Has Observed The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images and spectral data of strange, compact objects in distant regions of the early universe. These features appear to blend traits of both newborn stars and nascent galaxies, prompting astronomers to nickname them “platypus” objects—an analogy to the duck-billed, multi-faceted creature that embodies…
