The Unbelievable Finding: High Mass Star Seeds Defy Astronomical Expectations
In an exciting new discovery, scientists have found that high-mass stars may be formed from smaller seeds than previously thought possible. This could lead to a better understanding of how stars form and evolve, and could also provide insight into the cosmic structure of the universe. The research was conducted by an international team of astronomers who used observations from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile, along with other telescopes. The team studied a region of our galaxy called W43, which is home to a cluster of young, high-mass stars. They found that these stars were likely formed from much smaller seeds than expected. The results of this research defy previous expectations and suggest that high-mass stars may actually form from smaller seeds than previously thought.
