Discovery of the farthest and oldest companion of the Milky Way by James Web

According to RCO News AgencyAstronomers have discovered the farthest and thus the oldest spiral galaxy ever seen using the JWST Space Telescope.

This twin or the Milky Way Galaxy has been created only one billion years after the Maybang, and our theories about galactic evolution are challenged.

So far, it has been believed that galaxies, such as the Milky Way, would take billions of years to form distinct features such as spiral arms, large star pills, and central protrusions of dense stars.

However, instead of being expected, a galaxy spot is expected, it seems that these regular features are present in the “Julong” galaxy, a galaxy that is so far away that it lasts 1.5 billion years to reach us.

“We named this galaxy from Chinese mythology, Zhúlóng,” said Mengyuan Xiao. In China’s mythological stories, Julong is a powerful red solar dragon that open and close his eyes to the day and night and symbolizes light and cosmic time.

“What distinguishes” Julong “is how much in the form, size and mass of the star resembles the Milky Way galaxy,” he said.

Another similarity of the Milky Way Galaxy and this primary cosmic galaxy is the size of their star pills and the masses of those areas. The size of the Julong tablet is about 60,000 light -years and is 100 billion times the sun.

The Milky Way Galaxy Tablet is slightly wider with 100,000 light -years and its star mass is estimated at 46 billion solar masses.

Julong was discovered in the images collected by the James Webb space telescope and during the GO-2514 review program. Leaded by Christina Williams, this vast editorial program uses a special state of a $ 10 billion James Web Telescope called Pure Parallel, allowing it to collect high quality images of a crime and at the same time.

“This feature allows James Webb to map large areas of the sky that is essential for the discovery of huge galaxies because they are extremely rare, Williams says.

He added that the discovery highlights the potential of “pure parallel” programs to discover distant and rare objects that represent the modeling of galaxies.

In the future, scientists can use James Webb and the Alma Greater Millime Telescope, a collection of 66 radio telescopes located in the Atacama Desert, northern Chile, to further investigate the quality of “Julong”.
