Alaknanda Galaxy

Recently, researchers at National Centre for Radio Astrophysics – Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (NCRA–TIFR), Pune, have discovered a spiral galaxy and named it as Alaknanda..
Alaknanda Galaxy
Scientists in Pune found a new spiral galaxy using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.
It is very far away — 12 billion light-years from Earth.
This means we are seeing it as it looked when the Universe was very young.
The galaxy has clear spiral arms, just like our Milky Way.
It is about 30,000 light-years wide.
It makes new stars very quickly — about 60 times the mass of our Sun every year.
It is named Alaknanda, after a Himalayan river and the Hindi word for the Milky Way
The discovery is important because scientists did not expect such a well-formed spiral galaxy so early in the Universe.
