A newly discovered barred spiral galaxy dating back 11.1 billion years is rewriting what scientists know about galactic evolution, revealing complex gas dynamics and early bar formation. The post ...

Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves ...

The highly inclined barred spiral M108 in Ursa Major is sometimes called the Surfboard Galaxy. It's not to be missed.

Like our home galaxy, the newly discovered ceers-2112 is a barred spiral galaxy, and it’s now the most distant of its kind ever observed. The bar at the center of the structure is made of stars.

Another barred galaxy, EGS-24268, is also from about 11 billion years ago – making two barred galaxies existing farther back in time than previously discovered.

Discovering early barred galaxies. The discovery was made using data from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS). UT Astronomy graduate student Yuchen “Kay” Guo led the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is probing greater depths of space and time than other observatories. Now it's discovered galaxies with a structure like our own Milky Way 11 billion light-years ...

The Milky Way galaxy is our cosmic home. A barred spiral galaxy stretching 100,000 light-years across. Here we explore our galactic neighborhood in more detail.

The most distant Milky Way-like galaxy ever seen – a barred spiral galaxy – has been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope and it is more than 11 billion years old. Close.
