TL;DR Summary

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) have observed the universe's oldest known spiral galaxy, BRI 1335-0417, and discovered unique pond-like ripples in its gaseous disk, as well as the presence of a central bar. These findings challenge previous assumptions about galaxy evolution and provide significant insights into early galaxy formation and the dynamics of star and gas interactions.
