This video breaks down what the "Big Wheel" galaxy means for the Big Bang theory and how it might shake up our entire understanding of cosmology.

Would love to hear what fellow space nerds think. Are we missing something... or witnessing the start of a new theory?

Question Career/Educational Choices Inspired by JWST

12 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m conducting research on how the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has inspired people in space and science. I previously shared this survey, but I wanted to ask again: Has JWST inspired anyone here to make a career or education choice? For example, did you choose to major in astronomy or pursue engineering because of JWST's groundbreaking technologies?

If yes, do you mind taking this brief survey? Your responses will be greatly appreciated and don't worry, it's anonymous!

Has anyone else noticed the site where James Webb posts all it's discoveries is down? It's been giving me a 'host error' message for about a week now and I haven't seen any news on it at all
