Uncovering the Secrets of How Galaxies Form Gas and Stars
Astronomers have recently made a remarkable discovery in the far reaches of the universe—the first galaxies in the universe are forming far faster than previously thought. A team of researchers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) has found evidence of massive galaxies with large amounts of gas and new stars forming at a rate 10 times faster than expected. This means the galaxies are forming up to two billion years earlier than previously believed. This is an exciting new development in the study of galaxies, as it has implications for understanding the evolution of galaxies over the history of the universe.
