Vi bor i Vintergatan, en av Universums många galaxer. Men hur bildades den, och alla andra galaxer vi kan se genom våra teleskop? Rådande teorier hävdar att för många miljarder år sedan, när Universum var ungt, bildades först små dvärggalaxer, som sedan slogs ihop till att bilda stora galaxer såsom Vintergatan. Men många detaljer i den här processen är fortfarande oklara. Därför vill vi titta på s

I focused on the dy
