Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers has discovered a barred spiral galaxy similar to the Milky Way.. This The “ twin galaxy” is the most distant one observed so far.

Astronomers believed that galaxies in the early Universe were not ordered enough to maintain a spiral shape.. But a new galaxy discovered by scientists from the Centro de Astrobiología in Spain, called Ceers-2112, proved otherwise.

“This galaxy, named Ceers-2112, formed shortly after the Big Bang. The discovery of Ceers-2112 shows that galaxies in the early Universe may have been as orderly as the Milky Way.. This is surprising because in the early Universe, galaxies were much more chaotic, and very few of them had a structure similar to the Milky Way,” commented study co-author Alexander de la Vega from the University of California.

He noted that the discovery of Ceers-2112 could change existing theoretical models of the formation and evolution of galaxies. Now they must take into account the fact that very early in the history of the Universe, some galaxies became stable enough to have bars – membranes running through the center of spiral galaxies.

Earlier, NV Techno wrote that using the James Webb Telescope, they discovered the most distant black hole in history from Earth. This discovery could help reveal how some of the most massive black holes came to be.
