Could Gaia’s final mission data reveal shocking secrets about our galaxy?

January 13, 2025

The image is horizontally divided into two sections. On the left, thousands of overlapping celestial objects, located at varying distances, are visible within a galaxy cluster. A small inset at the bottom right is magnified and displayed on the right half of the image. This magnified view highlights the Firefly Sparkle galaxy, marked by a central oval. A line with 10 distinct dots in various colors is used to represent the galaxy’s star clusters. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, C. Willott (NRC-Canada), L. Mowla (Wellesley College), K.

Runaway stars escaping their clusters might be shaping the evolution of galaxies and the universe

This image presents a striking view of the distant galaxy REBELS-25, captured by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and superimposed over an infrared image of other stars and galaxies. The infrared portion of the image was taken by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (VISTA). Recent research has uncovered compelling evidence that REBELS-25 is a rapidly rotating disc galaxy that existed a mere 700 million years after the Big Bang. This discovery marks it as the earliest known galaxy with features similar to our Milky Way, making it the most distant of its kind ever observed. Credit: ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO)/L.
