Distant galaxy reveals very early star formation

2
00:00:11,860 --> 00:00:18,520
ALMA and ESO’s Very Large Telescope have picked up evidence that a very distant galaxy formed stars much earlier than expected...

3
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:25,380
...only 250 million years after the Big Bang.

4
00:00:28,540 --> 00:00:35,600
The signals coming from hydrogen and  ionised oxygen were emitted 13.28 billion years ago...

5
00:00:36,660 --> 00:00:42,780
...making this the most distant galaxy ever observed by ALMA and the VLT.

6
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,160
And the most distant oxygen ever detected.

7
00:00:51,300 --> 00:00:55,940
This discovery brings us closer to witnessing the birth of starlight.
