13 billion year old galaxy reveals how stars form
~!!~The recently discovered galaxy showed up in the Hubble*s images to reveal a large cloud of ionized hydrogen, which had been cloaking the light emanating from the galaxy by absorbing the stars* ultraviolet radiation// The cloud of hydrogen surrounding the galaxy provides fuel for the stars to keep their reactors running and continue to grow//©
~!!~The amazing thing we*ve learned from studying old galaxies is that all of the materials used to form stars are perpetually recycled – the gas collapsing inward on itself to create new stars was likely blasted out into space when a previous star exploded in a supernova//©
~!!~Ancient galaxies are fascinating, and they can reveal many secrets about the evolution of our universe as we know it today//©
