The Wolfe Disk, a massive rotating disk galaxy in the early universe, was discovered in 2017 when a stargazing project in the Chilean desert examined light from a distant quasar (top left) absorbed in ...

In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made with the Atacama Large ...

Researchers have discovered the most distant Milky-Way-like galaxy yet observed. Dubbed REBELS-25, this disc galaxy seems as orderly as present-day galaxies, but we see it as it was when the Universe ...

Current models of massive galaxy formation suggest that they evolve as part of a slow growth process, gradually increasing in size through mergers with smaller galaxies and the accumulation of clumps ...

Researchers have made an interesting discovery using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array or ALMA. The discovery is a massive rotating disc galaxy as seen when the universe was only 10% of ...

A massive, rotating disk galaxy from the early universe has been discovered by an international team of astronomers. Galaxy DLA0817g, dubbed the "Wolfe Disk" after the late astronomer Arthur M. Wolfe, ...
