Discover the greatest 'star factory' in the universe

Located 12.8 billion light-years from Earth, the galaxy named HFLSD3 is considered a 'star factory' with 'output' of up to 3,000 stars like our sun each year.

To make it easy to imagine, it can be seen that HFLSD3 produces 2,000 times more 'sun' than what takes place inside our galaxy. More specifically, what we observed in HFLSD3 is equivalent to only 6% of the current age of the universe. The distance too far is the reason why the images of HFLSD3 become 'outdated' when reaching the globe.

The radio telescope promises to decipher the mystery of the "HFLSD3 star factory".

The researchers said HFLSD3 is one of the largest galaxies in the universe, with a giant gas reservoir, where new stars form.Images of HFLSD3 play an important role in understanding galaxies as well as early universe structures.

However, to accurately observe the distance of HFLSD3 requires a huge number of telescopes, placed throughout the terrestrial observatory as well as the active space telescope inside the earth orbit. In addition, the support of the world's most advanced radio telescope system also helps to better understand the inner mysteries of HFLSD3.

Accordingly, HFLSD3 was formed only 880 million years after the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago. Scientists also found that the total number of stars of HFLSD3 is 40 billion times that of the sun. The total volume of gas and dust inside HFLSD3 is 100 billion times more massive than the sun and is always surrounded by mysterious dark matter.

Since HFLSD3 was born not long after the Big Bang burst into the universe, what is observed from this galaxy will be an opportunity for humanity to look back on the formation of the universe and the first galaxies exist in space. Scientists hope, the presence of the ALMA radio telescope field in Chile will be more helpful for the mysterious discovery of HFLSD3.
