The star clusters are of different colours because they are at different stages in their formation, according to Dr Mowla. “It is so beautiful because the early life of a galaxy is extremely ...
Leo P, a dwarf galaxy 5.3 million light-years from Earth, has been observed to "reignite" star formation after a period of dormancy during the Epoch of Reionization.
According to a paper published today in Nature, the reason is intense episodes of star formation in the cores of galaxies caused by large flows of cold gas and collisions between galaxies.
The galaxy has been nicknamed Zhúlóng, which means "Torch Dragon". It is a spiral galaxy like our own, the Milky Way. Zhúlóng also shows a clear division between its central concentration of ...
