Scientists have identified two ancient structures in the Milky Way named Shakti and Shiva, which are composed of stars with similar chemical compositions and have masses about 10 million times greater than our sun.
These structures were discovered using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescope.
It is suggested that Shakti and Shiva may be remnants of galaxies that merged with the Milky Way's primordial components approximately 12 billion years ago.
