NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope analyzed data from over 100 edge-on disk galaxies up to roughly 11 billion years ago .

Team's analysis aligns with one of three scenarios to explain the formation mechanisms and timing of thick and thin disks.

This is the first time scientists have investigated thick- and thin-disk structures spanning such vast distances.

In the future, the team intends to incorporate other data points into their edge-on galaxy sample.

"There is still much more we would like to explore," says Tsukui .

"We want to add the type of information people usually get for nearby galaxies, like stellar motion, age, and metallicity".
