The Big Wheel galaxy has no business being that big that early in the age of the Universe. It's doing everything right, but our ideas of how galaxies form and grow may need some poking.
The Big Wheel galaxy is way too big to exist when it did
It’s seen a couple of billion years after the Universe itself got started

@badastro And that is how science advances when new evidence arises that has to be explained
