Ancient Spiral Galaxy Shocks Scientists

Astronomers just spotted a massive spiral galaxy, Zhúlóng, that looks like the Milky Way—but it’s 12.5 billion years old! This thing already had sweeping arms and a dense core when the universe was just a baby. The kicker? Galaxies this organized weren’t supposed to exist so early. Now scientists are scrambling to rethink how quickly cosmic order can emerge. Turns out, the universe may have gotten its act together way faster than anyone thought! #Science #SpaceDiscovery #JamesWebb
