📡"Magnetic Superhighways Discovered in a Starburst Galaxy’s Winds" by National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)

Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers has mapped a magnetic highway driving a powerful galactic wind into the nearby galaxy merger of Arp 220, revealing for the first time that its fast, molecular outflows are strongly magnetized and likely helping to drive metals, dust, and cosmic rays into the space around the galaxy. By watching how tiny dust grains and gas molecules line up with these fields, researchers have drawn the most detailed magnetic map yet of Arp 220’s buried, star‑forming cores and their outflows. The result is a new way to see how gravity, starbirth, black holes, and magnetic forces all work together in a chaotic cosmic environment.

✨The cosmos is fascinating!
"The Centaurus A Galaxy" in different views.
By including information from various instruments, we can obtain a much more complete picture of what we observe in the Universe.

✨What you see is a pair of colliding galaxies known as UGC 4211, which allowed scientists to detect two rapidly growing black holes separated by a mere 750 light-years.

📡UGC4211, located just 500 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Cancer, is an ideal candidate for studying the final stages of galaxy mergers, which tend to occur more frequently in the distant Universe and, therefore, can be difficult to observe.

"Most Close Pairs of Stars Are Born as Cosmic Twins" by National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO)

Anew study of infant stars in the Perseus and Orion star-forming regions suggests that most close pairs of stars are born as twins in the same disk, rather than drifting together later from larger distances. By watching powerful streams of gas blasting away from baby stars, a team of researchers has shown that most close pairs of stars likely form side‑by‑side in the same spinning disk of gas and dust.

A cosmic memory! 🙌
The 66 ALMA antennas were assembled in Chile.
In the photo, two engineers are working on the dish of a European antenna for ALMA, installing the metal panels that make up the reflective surface.
The dish is 12 meters in diameter!📡
