#KnowledgeByte: A spiral #Galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist. Two Indian Scientists discovered the Galaxy named it Alaknanda.
Indian Scientists who discovered the Galaxy named it #Alaknanda, after the Himalayan river that is a twin headstream of the Ganga alongside the #Mandakini—fittingly, the Hindi name for the Milky Way.
