Alaknanda: Indische Forscher finden eine Galaxie wie die Milchstraße von vor 12 Milliarden Jahren

What if it *is* actually the Milky Way, because we are looking into a „cosmic mirror“ created by the light being reflected (orbited) by a distant black hole?

I doubt it would be possible (or that the effect would last long to begin with)… But I always wonder if we could actually use this method to peek into the past of our planet and check if our theories are correct.
