We found early Universe galaxies blowing scorchingly hot (~10 million Kelvin!) gas bubbles 🫧🔥

Congratulations to my colleague Dazhi Zhou at the University of British Columbia, and the rest of the SPT-SMG collaboration, for this astounding result!

🐦 Fly through a 3D map of stellar nurseries ✨

Scientists have created the most accurate 3D map of star-formation regions in our Milky Way galaxy, based on data from #ESAGaia.

The map extends to a distance of 4000 light-years from us, with the Sun at the centre 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪

Hi everyone 👋 I am new here and want to share a few of my photos capturing the atmosphere of a summer day in Bonn, as seen by my camera in the near-infrared part of the spectrum🌈 Hope you like it!
