Wolfe Disk Galaxy Puts Theories In A Spin

Astronomers have found a huge rotating disc galaxy that formed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang and was already ‘well-ordered, cold’ and intact within 1.5 billion years of the Big Bang. Using the data from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have discovered the Wolfe Disk galaxy from the National Radio Astronomy Observatory. Our universe is 13.8 billion years old and most galaxies, like the Milky Way, were developed slowly over billions of years, reaching their present size comparatively late. This investigation outlines how our knowledge of the universe is heightened with the advanced sensitivity that ALMA brings to radio cosmology.
