Astronomers have pinpointed the earliest elements of the Milky Way, dating back 12-13 billion years, calling them 'Shakti' and 'Shiva'. These stellar clusters, akin to founding blocks of a city, emerged as smaller galaxies merged to form our galaxy. Researchers from Germany's Max Planck Institute for Astronomy detailed in The Astrophysical Journal that these star groups retained unique energy and angular momentum signatures. Their findings illuminate the Milky Way's formation through galactic collisions, providing insights into the origins of our cosmic home.
