A sparkling cannibal galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope appears to be a"very early" mirror image of the Milky Way, and it could help astronomers understand how our galaxy took shape, a new study has revealed.
The cosmic feeding frenzy was discovered in Webb's First Deep Field — the deepest and most detailed view of the universe ever captured, and the James Webb Space Telescope's first full-color picture.
