Description
Galactic carbon monoxide, ALMA radio telescope image. Three-dimensional visualisation of ALMA observations of cold carbon monoxide gas in the starburst galaxy NGC 253 (Sculptor Galaxy, 11 million light years distant). The colours represent the intensity of the emission detected by ALMA, with pink being the strongest and red the weakest. Large amounts of cool gas are being ejected from the central parts of this galaxy. This will make it more difficult for the next generation of stars to form. ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter-submillimeter Array) is an array of 66 radio telescopes in Chile's Atacama desert. Image published in 2013.
