Early galaxy looked like lumpy ‘cosmic grapes’
A cluster of “Cosmic Grapes” is challenging current theoretical models on how galaxies formed during the universe’s earliest eons. After combining observations from the Atacam Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers now possess an unprecedented look at about 15 gargantuan “star-forming clumps” inside a single rotating disk that formed only 900 million years after the big bang. “Early galaxies f…
Astronomers find bizarre 'Cosmic Grapes' galaxy in the early universe. Here's why that's a big deal
A distant galaxy appears to have more than a dozen tightly packed star-forming clumps arranged like a bunch of grapes — far more than astronomers thought possible in a galaxy from the early universe.
An international team of astronomers has discovered, thanks to the combination of observations of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a primitive galaxy located just 930 million years from the Big Bang. The post The James Webb and ALMA show a rotating galaxy with a swarm of star clusters appeared first on Hispanics Press.
