And James Webb will soon uncover more of its mysteries.
The observations of the young galaxy A1689-zD1, made using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array , also showed outflows of hot gas from the galactic center.
, shed new light on the process of galactic evolution, helping us understand the process by which the Milky Way became the complex spiraling structure it is today. "What we're seeing in these new observations is evidence of processes that may contribute to the evolution of what we call normal galaxies as opposed to massive galaxies," Akins continued."More importantly, these processes are ones we did not previously believe applied to these normal galaxies."
"The carbon gas we observed in this galaxy is typically found in the same regions as neutral hydrogen gas, which is also where new stars tend to form," Akins said."If that is the case with A1689-zD1, the galaxy is likely much larger than previously thought. It’s also possible that this halo is a remnant of previous galactic activity, like mergers that exerted complex gravitational forces on the galaxy leading to the ejection of a lot of neutral gas out to these large distances.
