Advanced ancient galaxy questions the traditional model of cosmic evolution
This latest galactic discovery which is more than 12 billion light-years away from us is too advanced for its age
The most interesting thing that I find about space is that it never ceases to amaze you with mind-boggling discoveries. The element of surprise is huge since we know very little about the cosmos and even what we know is equivalent to a grain of dust on a long sandy beach. The other day I was reading that astronomers just discovered a neutron star — dubbed as SN 1987A, the original star was first sighted in 1987 and it lies in a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way 170,000 light-years from Earth.
At age 33, it is the youngest ever neutron star which was formed as a result of a star going supernova but didn’t collapse on itself to become a black hole. A paper on the subject was published recently in The Astrophysical Journal. However, today’s surprise discovery that I am going to talk about is not the neutron star but a galaxy that defies the conventional explanation of cosmic evolution.
For starters, consider that the most widely accepted estimate for the age of the universe is about 13.8 billion years, with the current theory on galactic formation suggesting that the early universe…
