Early Stages of Massive Galaxy Construction Captured by NASA
Astronomers have glimpsed the earliest stages of massive galaxy construction through combined observations from NASA's Hubble and Spitzer telescopes, the W.M. Keck Observatory, and the ESA's Herschel space observatory. The image reveals 'Sparky', a dense galactic core illuminated by light from millions of young stars forming at an intense rate. This view dates back 11 billion years, just 3 billion years after the Big Bang, providing key insights into elliptical galaxy formation. This visual can be used in scientific publications, educational materials, or as inspiring decor for astronomy enthusiasts.
