Earliest galaxies in the Universe’s history spun like the Milky Way

12 January 2018

Artist impression of rotation in a galaxy in the early Universe, credit: Institute of Astronomy, Amanda Smith. Astronomers have looked back to a time soon after the Big Bang, and have discovered swirling gas in some of the earliest galaxies to have formed in the Universe. These ‘newborns’ – observed as they appeared nearly...
