JWST has spotted a huge, ultramassive galaxy as it appeared 12.8 billion years ago .

The galaxy's name is Zhúlóng , after the Torch Dragon of Chinese myth.

It is so intricately structured that it can only belong to the most spectacular category of galaxies: the grand design spiral.

The researchers believe it is the earliest example of a spiral galaxy seen to date.

This suggests a Milky Way -like galaxy can form far faster than we thought.
