My imagination was pushed a little bit to see a spiral, but this is one of the cases where I’ll trust specialists trained in interpreting blurred images from very far away. 🙂

>A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist
JWST seems to be doing a lot of that. It’s been routinely finding larger galaxies earlier in time that were thought unlikely to exist.

That galaxy cluster reminds a lot of Coma, with these two giant ellipticals at the center. It’s also fun to wander through the image and see the many types of galaxies featured.
