The galaxy, whose internal structure scientists were able to study, is located at a distance of almost 12.5
By measuring the dust and gas emissions from the galaxy ALESS 073.1, the authors constructed a model of the galaxy's mass distribution, which unexpectedly showed the presence of large stellar bulges such as bulges in the center and a rotating disk - elements characteristic of more mature galactic formations.
Earlier, according to astronomers, it was believed that the firststellar systems formed at random and did not have elements characteristic of more mature galactic formations. The resulting image from space refuted this theory.
We found that the massive bulge,a regular rotating disk and possibly spiral arms already existed in this galaxy when the universe was only 10% of its current age. In other words, this galaxy looks like an adult, even though it's just a small child.

Scientists now believe that galaxies are evolving much faster than previously thought.
