Astronomers Detect Nickel and Other Unexpected Elements in Early Star-Forming Galaxies

<p>In the Universe&rsquo;s youth, many galaxies experienced a period of intense star formation.</p> <p>Today, some galaxies, such as our own Milky Way, still form new stars, albeit not as rapidly. Other galaxies have stopped forming stars altogether.</p> <p>This new work can help astronomers understand the reasons behind these different trajectories.</p> <p>&ldquo;We&rsquo;re trying to understand how galaxies grew and changed over the 14 billion years of cosmic history,&rdquo; said Dr. Allison Strom, an astronomer at Northwestern University.</p> <p>&ldquo;Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, our program targets &lsquo;teenage&rsquo; galaxies when they were going through a messy time of growth spurts and change.&rdquo;</p> <p><a href="https://stemwithjooricanka.medium.com/astronomers-detect-nickel-and-other-unexpected-elements-in-early-star-forming-galaxies-b2de444d4235"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
