Indian Scientists Discover Ancient Spiral Galaxy

Indian scientists have found a very old galaxy called Alaknanda.

This galaxy is special because it looks like a spiral, similar to our Milky Way, and it was formed when the Universe was very young, just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang.

The scientists used a powerful telescope called the James Webb Space Telescope to see this galaxy, which is very far away, about 12 billion light-years from Earth.

The galaxy is well-structured and has a lot of stars, about 10 billion times the mass of our Sun.

This discovery is important because it shows that galaxies in the early Universe could form and organize themselves much faster than scientists previously thought.

The name Alaknanda was chosen to honor the sacred river in Hindu mythology, symbolizing the flow of cosmic rivers of stars.
