The US space agency (NASA) announced the discovery of galaxies similar to the Milky Way, which formed when the universe was only 25 percent of its current age.
The British Daily Mail newspaper quoted Sharda Joji, a professor of astronomy at the University of Texas at Austin, as saying in a statement: “NASA’s (James Webb) space telescope monitored galaxies shockingly similar to our galaxy, and these huge groups of gas, dust and stars are characterized by (ribs). stellar), which are features of stars extending from the centers of galaxies to their outer disks, indicating that they were found shortly after the Big Bang of galaxies 13.7 billion years ago.
She added: This early discovery of the ribs means that models of galaxy evolution now have a new path through the ribs, to accelerate the production of new stars in early ages.
Starbursts do exist in our galaxy, but this is the first time scientists have seen them in the early universe, a discovery that will require astrophysicists to improve their theories of galaxy evolution.
The team supervising the research identified six prominent galaxies, ranging in age from eight billion to 11 billion years.
