... Gravitational wave search provides insights into galaxy evolution and mergers . ... galaxies . ... The Hubble Space Telescope found a galaxy that was completely formed within 480 million years of the Big Bang. How could gas and dust clouds condense into stars and organize themselves via gravity into an entire galaxy in less time than it takes the Milky Way to make two rotations? ... Galaxies like the Milky Way indeed could not have formed as a unit at such an early era after the Big Bang. ...
