"Unprecedented Discovery: Ancient Galaxies Unveil Cosmic Star Factory Secrets"

Scientists using the NOEMA radio telescope array have discovered a record-breaking collection of 13 different molecules in two galaxies that existed over 12 billion years ago. The galaxies, one of which is home to a quasar, are forming stars at a rate hundreds of times greater than the Milky Way. The discovery provides insights into the formation of stars in ancient realms and suggests the presence of more massive stars that accelerate the development of chemistry in galaxies.
