Et hold astronomer har offentliggjort nye observationer af nære galakser, som ser ud som farvestrålende kosmisk fyrværkeri. Billederne, som er optaget med European Southern Observatorys Very Large Telescope (VLT), viser de forskellige bestanddele af galakserne i klare farver, som gør det muligt for astronomerne at stedbestemme hvor unge stjerner og den gas, som de varmer op befinder sig. En kombination af disse nye observationer med data fra Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), som ESO er partner i, gør det muligt for forskerne at beskrive, hvad det er, der får gasserne til at danne stjerner.
