Unlocking the Mysteries of the Early Stages of Star Formation
Have you ever wondered what it looks like when a star is first forming? Scientists have now developed a new method to capture the earliest stages of star formation, providing an unprecedented view of stellar birth. By combining the power of two of the most powerful astronomical facilities, the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT), scientists have been able to hone in on the earliest stages of star formation. This new technique will allow us to gain insight into how stars form, and could even help us to better understand the evolution of galaxies.
