12.8 billion years ago a Spiral Galaxy much like our own shone its light which has been now been seen by the James Webb telescope , the Galaxy has been named Zhúlóng taken from Chinese mythology.
Zhúlóng is similar to our Galaxy in size , mass and shape but existed just 1 billion years after the "Big Bang" making it the oldest Galaxy we have seen and another thorn in the side of the supposed Big Bang.

Quote:Previously, it was believed that galaxies like ours would take billions of years to form distinct features like spiral arms , vast star-forming disks, and central bulges of densely packed stars. Yet, rather than being the expected chaotic galactic blob, those well-ordered features appear to be present in this galaxy, which is so distant that its light has taken 12.8 billion years to reach us.
"We named this galaxy Zhúlóng, meaning 'Torch Dragon' in Chinese mythology. In the myth, Zhúlóng is a powerful red solar dragon that creates day and night by opening and closing its eyes, symbolizing light and cosmic time," team leader Mengyuan Xiao of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) said in a statement. "What makes Zhúlóng stand out is just how much it resembles the Milky Way in shape, size, and stellar mass."
