"Distant Galaxy Unveils Early Universe's Stellar Journey from Birth to Death"
Astronomers have discovered what could be the most distant site of star birth and death ever seen, located in a nebula within a galaxy 13.2 billion light-years away. The observations made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) revealed regions of dust and oxygen emissions weaving around each other, indicating intense ultraviolet radiation from newly formed stars. The researchers also identified a large cavity within the nebula, potentially a superbubble created by supernova explosions. This discovery provides insights into stellar lifecycles in the early universe and may be further explored with the James Webb Space Telescope and the Extremely Large Telescope.
