Scientists obtained images of a massive galaxy in the very early stages of development, shedding light on the area of the mad star in the early universe. The diameter of a distant galaxy is only 6,000 light-years away, making it much smaller than our Milky Way, which measured about 100 000 light-years across. However, despite the huge difference in size, Sparky contains twice as many stars as in our home galaxy.
Galactic nucleus object so far that now scientists observed light originated about 11 billion years ago, just 3 billion years after the Big Bang. The team also studied archival infrared images from the two telescopes, determining that Sparky was born about 300 stars per year, which is significantly more than 10 stars per year, being born in the Milky Way. Team results indicate that the galaxy is producing stars are billions of years before observation.
Observed from Sparky light indicates a very high level of star formation, and scientists believe that it will eventually slow down and billions of years in the future, smaller galaxies may even come out of her. Then it will become a huge power elliptical galaxy.
The team believes that there are other, similar galaxy, but infrared technology on board a current telescopes can not detect them. However, scientists must get answers from future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope.
