Reports that NASA\u2019s James Webb Space Telescope broke the universe may have been exaggerated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In its first images, JWST captured what appeared to be gargantuan galaxies in the early universe<\/a> \u2014 ones much too big to be explained by current cosmological theories (SN: 2\/22\/23<\/em>). But a new analysis of old data from the Hubble Space Telescope suggests that those alleged behemoths probably have more prosaic explanations<\/a> fitting in with our standard understanding of the universe, cosmologist Julian Mu\u00f1oz and colleagues report in the Feb. 9 Physical Review Letters<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n
