Unusual ‘ingredients’ helped stars form in a galaxy near the Milky Way
Unusual star formation in Sextans A challenges conventional wisdom Astronomers have long assumed that stellar nurseries rely on a familiar menu of ingredients: gas, dust, cooling molecules, and enough metallic elements to help gas shed heat and collapse into stars. Yet a new study focusing on a diminutive galaxy close to the Milky Way—Sextans A—suggests…
