US EditionAstronomers discover a galaxy frozen in time for billions of years: 'Fossil galaxies are like the dinosaurs of the universe'
- Astronomers have discovered a distant galaxy named KiDS J0842+0059 that has remained virtually unchanged for billions of years, known as a "cosmic fossil".
- This galaxy has avoided significant interactions with others, serving as a pristine time capsule for studying early galaxies.
- Crescenzo Dove, a researcher at the National Institute for Astrophysics, stated, "We have discovered a galaxy that has been 'perfectly preserved' for billions of years".
- The galaxy is about 3 billion light-years from Earth and provides insights into the evolution of the universe, much like a true archaeological find for understanding Earth's history.

Astronomers discover a galaxy frozen in time for billions of years: 'Fossil galaxies are like the dinosaurs of the universe'
Astronomers have discovered a galaxy that has been "frozen in time" for billions of years. Like a celestial dinosaur fossil, this galaxy could reveal the secrets of cosmic evolution.
Astronomers have captured new images revealing the secrets of the first galaxies, thanks to the ALMA telescope, the most powerful in the world. Located in the Chilean desert, the ALMA observatory has delivered photographs of unrivalled accuracy, showing the clouds of gas at the origin of the primitive galaxies more than thirteen billion years ago. These photographs have been published in [...] Read more Chile unveils revolutionary photographs of…
In the first quarter of the 21st century, astronomers discovered the ultra-diffuse galaxies. They were perplexed because they did not fit with the forecasts of the standard cosmological model based on the existence of dark matter. New observations make it possible to...
