The NASA, ESAHubble Space Telescope, and the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (VLT) have spotted a mysterious-looking stellar nesting ground.
The findings consists of young stars spiraling into the center of a massive cluster of stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, according to a press release published by the European Space Agency (ESA) on Thursday.
Machines that sculpt the Universe
“Stars are the machines that sculpt the Universe. We would not have life without stars, and yet we don’t fully understand how they form,” explained study leader Elena Sabbi of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.
“We have several models that make predictions, and some of these predictions are contradictory. We want to determine what is regulating the process of star formation, because these are the laws that we need to also understand what we see in the early Universe.”
