To do this, they studied the evolution of 400 galaxies similar to the Milky Way and recorded their shape for more than 11 billion years.

Since then, experts have concluded that our galaxy looks like a pale blue giant filled with gas.'For the first time, we have a direct image of the Milky Way in the past' , according to researcher Pieter G.van Dokkum of Yale University (USA).

They discovered that the original Milky Way had a flat disk shape with a bulge in the center, which in turn developed a spiral branch as we see it today.

The disk contains the earth and the sun, while the bulging part contains older stars and a giant black hole swells in size in proportion to the Milky Way's development.
