Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner, astronomers have seen a galaxy ejecting nearly half of its star-forming gas. This ejection is happening at a startling rate, equivalent to 10 000 Suns-worth of gas a year — the galaxy is rapidly losing its fuel to make new stars. The team believes that this spectacular event was triggered by a collision with another galaxy, which could lead astronomers to rethink how galaxies stop bringing new stars to life.</div> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div>  <div class="slide"> <a href="/web/20210204090205/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2019/"> <img draggable="false" data-lazy="https://web.archive.org/web/20210204090205/https://cdn.eso.org/images/banner1920/eso2019a.jpg" alt="New ESO’s VLT image of the Skull Nebula"> <div class="pr-content"> <div class="pr-description"> <div class="pr-type">eso2019 — Photo Release</div> <div class="pr-title">Stars and Skulls: new ESO image reveals eerie nebula</div> <div class="pr-extra"> <div class="pr-headline">This ethereal remnant of a long dead star, nestled in the belly of The Whale, bears an uneasy resemblance to a skull floating through space.

On Earth, this gas is only made industrially or by microbes that thrive in oxygen-free environments. Astronomers have speculated for decades that high clouds on Venus could offer a home for microbes — floating free of the scorching surface but needing to tolerate very high acidity. The detection of phosphine could point to such extra-terrestrial “aerial” life.</div> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div>  <div class="slide"> <a href="/web/20210204090205/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2014/"> <img draggable="false" data-lazy="https://web.archive.org/web/20210204090205/https://cdn.eso.org/images/banner1920/eso2014a.jpg" alt="The inner ring of GW Orionis: model and SPHERE observations"> <div class="pr-content"> <div class="pr-description"> <div class="pr-type">eso2014 — Science Release</div> <div class="pr-title">New Observations Show Planet-forming Disc Torn Apart by its Three Central Stars</div> <div class="pr-extra"> <div class="pr-headline">A team of astronomers have identified the first direct evidence that groups of stars can tear apart their planet-forming disc, leaving it warped and with tilted rings. This new research suggests exotic planets, not unlike Tatooine in Star Wars, may form in inclined rings in bent discs around multiple stars. The results were made possible thanks to observations with the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).</div> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div>  <div class="slide"> <a href="/web/20210204090205/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2013/"> <img draggable="false" data-lazy="https://web.archive.org/web/20210204090205/https://cdn.eso.org/images/banner1920/eso2013a.jpg" alt="Lensed view of SPT0418-47"> <div class="pr-content"> <div class="pr-description"> <div class="pr-type">eso2013 — Science Release</div> <div class="pr-title">ALMA sees most distant Milky Way look-alike</div> <div class="pr-extra"> <div class="pr-headline">Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner, have revealed an extremely distant and therefore very young galaxy that looks surprisingly like our Milky Way. The galaxy is so far away its light has taken more than 12 billion years to reach us: we see it as it was when the Universe was just 1.4 billion years old. It is also surprisingly unchaotic, contradicting theories that all galaxies in the early Universe were turbulent and unstable. This unexpected discovery challenges our understanding of how galaxies form, giving new insights into the past of our Universe.</div> </div> </div> </div> </a> </div>  <div class="slide"> <a href="/web/20210204090205/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso2012/"> <img draggable="false" data-lazy="https://web.archive.org/web/20210204090205/https://cdn.eso.org/images/banner1920/eso2012a.jpg" alt="New ESO’s VLT image of the NGC 2899 planetary nebula"> <div class="pr-content"> <div class="pr-description"> <div class="pr-type">eso2012 — Photo Release</div> <div class="pr-title">Stunning Space Butterfly Captured by ESO Telescope</div> <div class="pr-extra"> <div class="pr-headline">Resembling a butterfly with its symmetrical structure, beautiful colours, and intricate patterns, this striking bubble of gas — known as NGC 2899 — appears to float and flutter across the sky in this new picture from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT).
