Astronomers have found an ancient galaxy located 25 million light years away using the most powerful telescope to spot the system
Known as GS-9209, the galaxy formed around 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. Researchers say the massive and densely packed galaxy is the earliest of its kind to date.
Scientists led by experts from the University of Edinburgh used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to reveal the properties of GS-9209 for the first time. Researchers say it was a "big surprise" to find a massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
"The James Webb Space Telescope has already demonstrated that galaxies were growing larger and earlier than we ever suspected during the first billion years of cosmic history," said lead researcher Dr Adam Carnall of the University of Edinburgh's School of Physics and Astronomy.
"This work gives us our first really detailed look at the properties of these early galaxies, charting in detail the history of GS-9209, which managed to form as many stars as our own Milky Way in just 800 million years after the Big Bang.
"The fact that we also see a very massive black hole in this galaxy was a big surprise, and lends a lot of weight to the idea that these black holes are what shut down star formation in early galaxies."
GS-9209 was first discovered in 2004 by Edinburgh PhD student Karina Caputi, who was supervised at the time by professors Jim Dunlop and Ross McLure at the university's School of Physics and Astronomy.
Researchers have found GS-9209 has a similar number of stars to the Milky Way despite being 10 times smaller than our galaxy.
According to the new study, their combined mass is around 40 billion times that of our sun, and they were formed rapidly before star

“Star Wars,” but the blessing of being one of the most famous movie heroes in film history also proved to be a curse when he tried to move his career beyond the galaxy far, far away – and into the 18th century to play composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.Hamill discussed how his career changed dramatically on CBS’ “Sunday Morning,” recalling how he and co-stars Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher were blown away by the immediate success of “Star Wars” in 1977 and seeing fans dressed like their characters, “homemade lightsabers and all.”That popularity got even more intense after “The Empire Strikes Back” was released in 1980, and with it the most famous twist in movie history. At that point, Hamill wanted to stretch his acting muscles and show that there’s more to him than Luke, and so he was cast as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the Tony-winning Broadway play “Amadeus” during its original Broadway run, taking over for original lead actor Tim Curry.
