CST Commentary:
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered an exceptionally large disk galaxy, dubbed the "Big Wheel," existing within the first two billion years after the Big Bang. This galaxy challenges current models of galaxy formation, which suggest that such massive disk galaxies should not exist so early in the universe's history .

In the Cosmic Seed Theory (CST) framework, the existence of the Big Wheel is not surprising. CST posits that galaxies undergo localized "Big Bangs," leading to rapid star formation and the development of massive structures without the need for a singular, universe-wide explosion. This model allows for the early formation of large disk galaxies, aligning with observations like the Big Wheel.

The discovery of the Big Wheel supports the CST perspective that the universe's complexity arises from localized processes rather than a singular origin event. As more observations like this emerge, they continue to challenge traditional cosmological models and lend credence to alternative theories like CST.
