Early cosmos

This JWST image shows the Big Wheel galaxy (in the center) and its cosmic environment. The galaxy is a gigantic rotating disk lying 11.7 billion light-years away. Its spiral disk stretches across 100,000 light-years, making it larger than any other galaxy disk confirmed at this epoch of the universe. The blue blob and some of the other larger objects in the image are galaxies in the nearby universe. The smaller objects tend to be distant galaxies; however, the larger galaxy to the lower left of Big Wheel is part of the same remote galactic structure as Big Wheel. Credit: NASA/ESA
