Found a rare 'star birth machine' in the universe
Astronomers have discovered a special star-making machine - a distant galaxy that is spewing out stars at amazing speeds, about 1,000 to 4,000 stars every year.
At this rate, the galaxy only needs about 50 million years, not too long in space time, to produce a galaxy equivalent to most giant galaxies we see today. .
"In comparison, our Milky Way produces only an average of 10 stars per year," the US Space Agency spokesman said.
The new finding contradicts today's most popular hypothesis about the creation of galaxies. According to that hypothesis, named Hierarchical Model, galaxies lay stars slowly by absorbing tiny debris of other galaxies, not in the explosive way as observed in the galaxy " Baby Boom "has just been discovered.
The "Baby Boom" galaxy is 12.3 billion light-years away, nicknamed for laying a series of stars at the same time. (Photo: Reuters)
