The Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany announced this week that astronomers have identified what may be two of the Milky Way’s earliest building blocks called Shiva and Shakti. These are potentially the remnants of two galaxies that merged between 12 and 13 billion years ago with an early version of the Milky Way, …
