The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has been used to discover REBELS-25, a Milky Way-like galaxy from the ...

REBELS-25 is much younger than our galaxy, but it already shares its rotation and structure, rather than appearing clumpy and chaotic like other early galaxies, ...

Such structures, if proven, would make REBELS-25 the most distant barred spiral galaxy known. That would beat the record holder, Ceers-2112, discovered just last year with NASA's Webb telescope.

This is despite REBELS-25’s uncanny resemblance to the Milky Way, which is just slightly younger than the universe (at 13.6 billion years old).

Astronomers have identified a distant galaxy, REBELS-25, using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA). Despite being young, this galaxy shows an orderly structure similar to the Milky ...

Dubbed REBELS-25, this disc galaxy seems as orderly as present-day galaxies, but we see it as it was when the Universe was only 700 million years old. This is surprising since, according to our ...

REBELS-25 is much younger than our galaxy, but it already shares its rotation and structure, rather than appearing clumpy and chaotic like other early galaxies, the researchers said in a statement ...

By Jack Guy, CNN (CNN) — Researchers have discovered a distant disc galaxy that has surprisingly similar characteristics to our own Milky Way, and it could change our understanding of how ...
