This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared image was taken by ESO’s Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). In a recent study, researchers found evidence that REBELS-25 is a strongly rotating disc galaxy existing only 700 million years after the Big Bang. This makes it the most distant and earliest known Milky Way-like galaxy found to date.
Cercetătorii au descoperit cea mai îndepărtată galaxie asemănătoare Căii Lactee observată vreodată. Numită REBELS-25, galaxia din cazul de față pare organizată la fel ca galaxiile din zilele noastre, însă astronomii o văd așa cum era pe vremea când Universul avea vârsta de 700 de milioane de ani.
Asta este surprinzător, spun oamenii de știință, având în vedere modul în care noi înțelegem la acest moment formarea galactică.
This image of the galaxy REBELS-25 was taken by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international facility co-owned by ESO. It shows how cold gas is distributed in the galaxy, and exhibits hints of an elongated bar structure at its centre.This image shows the galaxy REBELS-25 as seen by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), overlaid on an infrared image of other stars and galaxies.
