How an Ancient Spiral Galaxy Helps us Understand The Milky Way #sciencetime #spacescience #astronomy Captured by the ALMA telescope, seismic ripples in an ancient spiral galaxy may hold secrets to the origins of the Milky Way. This galaxy, though over 12 billion years old, forms stars at a rate hundreds of times faster than our own. Researchers suggest external factors or interactions with neighboring galaxies could be fueling this rapid star formation. A unique bar-like structure within its disk is also seen, possibly disrupting gas movement and influencing star formation. Understanding this ancient galaxy helps unravel the mysteries of early galaxy formation and the evolution of galaxies like ours Subscribe to Science Time: https://www.youtube.com/sciencetime24
