Drake multiplied the number of sunlike stars in our galaxy that form each year by a handful of variables: the fraction of those stars that have planets; the number of planets per planetary system where life could exist; the fraction of habitable planets where life actually arises; the fraction of those where intelligence emerges; the fraction of intelligent species that develop interstellar communication; and finally, the average length of time that those communicating civilizations survive.

Submillimeter emissions are typically produced by carbon and water molecules in distant galaxies and star - forming regions.

«The ALMA data reveal that AzTEC - 3 is a very compact, highly disturbed galaxy that is bursting with new stars at close to its theoretically predicted maximum limit and is surrounded by a population of more normal, but also actively star - forming galaxies,» said Dominik Riechers, an astronomer and assistant professor at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, and lead author on a paper published today (Nov. 10) in the Astrophysical Journal.

In the early Universe, starburst galaxies like AzTEC - 3 were forming new stars at a monstrous pace fueled by the enormous quantities of star - forming material they devoured and by merging with other adolescent galaxies.

A trove of galaxies, rich in carbon monoxide (indicating star - forming potential) were imaged by ALMA (orange) in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.

Stars are organised into galaxies, which in turn form clusters and superclusters that are separated by immense voids.

We however do not yet know whether galaxy mergers are also responsible for these, or whether they are formed by cold gas gradually falling into the galaxy.

«High - energy neutrinos are produced along with gamma rays by extremely high - energy radiation known as cosmic rays in objects like star - forming galaxies, galaxy clusters, supermassive black holes, or gamma - ray bursts.

«Till recent years, in the paradigm of galaxy formation and evolution, elliptical galaxies were thought to have formed by the merging of stellar disks in the distant Universe.

The other striking fact about the galaxies is that they are populated by stars that formed 300 million years prior to the time stamp of the galaxies themselves.
