ALMA Telescope Achieves Revealing View of a Galaxy 13.2 Billion Light-Years Away

A scientific team has achieved a revealing view of the birth and death of stars thanks to an image of an ancient galaxy, with unprecedented resolution.

This formed just 600 million years after the big bang. These high-resolution images obtained with the ALMA telescope, in Chile, allowed us to observe never-before-seen structures that were formed by the interaction of dark nebulae and emission nebulae.

ALMA radio images show a fascinating panorama where these nebulae shape a majestic cavity that resembles a superbubble, explains the ALMA Observatory in a press release.

This discovery is fundamental to understanding the enigmatic processes involved in the formation of galaxies and the cycles of birth and death of stars, say the scientists.

The scientific team, led by Yoichi Tamura of Nagoya University, Japan, began their eexploration of ultra-distant galaxies with ALMA in 2012. In their most recent finding, the researchers obtained images with an unprecedented level of resolution of the galaxy MACS0416_Y1.
