Researchers used ESA's Gaia telescope to detect 20 unusually metal-poor stars near the galactic disk, suggesting they originated from a single ancient dwarf galaxy. The stars' chemical composition and orbital patterns indicate they were absorbed during the early universe, possibly 3-4 billion years after the Big Bang when the Milky Way was still small.
