- Scientists found a donut-shaped galaxy hiding out 11 billion light-years from Earth.
- The galaxy is making stars at an incredibly fast pace.
- Researchers believe it got its shape due to a collision with another galaxy.
Well, it looks like astronomers have finally found the absolute best possible thing they could ever hope to find when gazing deep into the cosmos. No, I’m not talking about alien life or the fountain of youth. Both of those things pale in comparison to the discovery recently revealed in a paper published in Nature Astronomy. Scientists found… a donut galaxy.
Okay, so maybe it’s just a big “cosmic ring of fire,” but it sure looks like a donut. And if it were a donut, I bet it would be absolutely delicious, especially if you dipped it in the Milky Way. (Get it?)
