A galaxy about 13.3 billion light-years away (inset in this image of a galaxy cluster from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) is the most distant galaxy to show signs of rotation.
======================================================================
There is a galaxy spinning like a record in the early universe — far earlier than any others have been seen twirling around.
Astronomers have spotted signs of rotation in the galaxy MACS1149-JD1, JD1 for short, which sits so far away that its light takes 13.3 billion years to reach Earth. “The galaxy we analyzed, JD1, is the most distant example of a rotational galaxy,” says astronomer Akio Inoue of Waseda University in Tokyo.
“The origin of the rotational motion in galaxies is closely related to a question: how galaxies like the Milky Way formed,” Inoue says. “So, it is interesting to find the onset of rotation in the early universe.”
JD1 was discovered in 2012. Due to its great distance from Earth, its light had been stretched, or redshifted, into longer wavelengths, thanks to the expansion of the universe. That redshifted light revealed that JD1 existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
Astronomers used light from the entire galaxy to make that measurement. Now, using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile for about two months in 2018, Inoue and colleagues have measured more subtle differences in how that light is shifted across the galaxy’s disk. The new data show that, while all of JD1 is moving away from Earth, its northern part is moving away slower than the southern part. That’s a sign of rotation, the researchers report in the July 1 Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Pretty much!..................
LOL ixna noa hotopa location.
The galaxy started spinning just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
How do they know that?.
Now, it’s up to us to figure out what to do with this “awesome” news.
LOL! That’s great. Now I’m trying to decode why these two big telescopes were named after Webb Hubbell. It’s got to be a Clintoon thing.
Tire tread marks.....................
How can that be?
President learned of the Webb Photos this week and made the official announcement of the very first photo. Did the President miss that one?
Remember back on the first day I posted a side-by-side pic of the Hubbell famous pic and the Webb’s pic of the same section of sky??.....Besides, Binden just read a teleprompter. He probably didn’t even know what it was........
It may be completely gone for all we know 🤪
Never thought of it that way. Now that you mention it, and I hear it, it is truly VERY odd! Fits in with the narrative - “They always tell us beforehand” and “we’re watching a movie”.
Thanks,FRiend!
I know..... pathetic, just pathetic
He tried to kill it when he as a Senator. Now he’s like taking credit for it.............................
Jack Webb nods
The Easter Bunny has to explain things to Biden so I would say he definitely didn’t know what it was.
Got it! My mistake, thank you
The First Day
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 And God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness.
But you are right, the Hubbell will be decommissioned soon and will be a lookout for Webb’s targets.....
Well it was the pre-incarnate Yeshua (Jesus, the Logos) that said it and it was written in the early Hebrew as “Be light” not ‘let there be light’.
It’s written in the Bible as “Let there be light” whereas in the early Hebrew writings it was “Be light’ - the same with a difference.
