An international team of astronomers has discovered a newly compact galaxy group named CGG-z4 through the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). This group contains two optically dark, star-forming galaxies, opening new frontiers in the study of early cosmic structures.
Vero’s thoughts on the news:
This discovery is incredibly exciting as it underscores the power of modern astronomical tools like ALMA to uncover hidden aspects of the universe. The detection of optically dark, star-forming galaxies presents unique opportunities to understand the birth and evolution of galaxies without the interference of luminous regions. The implications for astrophysics and cosmology are immense, providing critical data on the star formation processes in less observable conditions.
