Missouri University scientists found more Milky Way-like spiral galaxies in the early universe, suggesting a faster galaxy formation process.

Missouri University scientists have discovered more Milky Way-like spiral galaxies in the early universe than previously believed. This research, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, suggests that spiral galaxies were prevalent as early as 2 billion years after the universe's formation, indicating a faster galaxy formation process. This insight could advance our understanding of how spiral galaxies like the Milky Way formed.
