Astronomers have orchestrated a groundbreaking discovery, identifying what could be two of the earliest building blocks of the Milky Way galaxy. Named “Shakti” and “Shiva” after the Hindu deities representing cosmic power and transformation, these remnants are believed to have merged with a nascent Milky Way between 12 and 13 billion years ago. This revelation sheds light on the galaxy’s formative years, akin to piecing together the first movements of a grand symphony of galactic evolution.
