Astronomers have captured a new snapshot of the ancient spiral galaxy BRI 1335–0417. The research is providing valuable insights into the formation of early galaxies and shedding light on the origins of our own Milky Way.
Dating back more than 12 billion years, BRI 1335–0417 is the oldest and farthest known spiral galaxy in our universe.
According to study lead author Dr. Takafumi Tsukui, a state-of-the-art telescope called ALMA allowed the experts to look at this ancient galaxy in much greater detail.
