Starburst Galaxies

An observation of the Milky Way Galaxy done by European Southern Observatory (ESO) using Very Large Telescope (VLT) has found the evidence of a burst star formation which led to over hundred thousands of supernova explosions in the central part of the galaxy.

"This discovery is an important step to understand the evolutionary process of starburst galaxies and supermassive black holes in galaxies."

To help understand why some galaxies "burst" while others do not, an international team of astronomers have dissected a cluster of star-forming clouds at the heart of NGC 253, one of the nearest starburst galaxies to the Milky Way.

Astronomers using the world's largest ground-based telescope have discovered that galaxies started churning out stars at a high rate - when the universe was just a billion years old.
