1 Sample Definition And Size
The study analyzed spiral galaxies in the GOODS‑S field of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), using NIRCam imaging in the 4.4, 2.0, and 0.9 μm bands. The field spans RA 53.01885° to 53.2184° and Dec –27.9145° to –27.7292°. A total of 263 galaxies had identifiable rotation directions. Of these, 158 rotate in the opposite direction relative to the Milky Way, and 105 rotate in the same direction.

2 Study Type
Observational study using quantitative image analysis of JWST deep‑field data, applying a computer‑aided algorithm (Ganalyzer) to determine galaxy rotation direction.

4 Results Summary
The number of galaxies rotating opposite to the Milky Way is approximately 50% higher than those rotating in the same direction (158 vs. 105). The asymmetry is visually obvious and statistically significant. ([academic.oup.com](https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article-abstract/538/1/76/8019798?utm_source=openai))
