MUNICH, Germany, Aug. 20 (UPI) -- The birth of a star, recognized as an event involving extreme energies, may be even more energetic than previously thought, a telescope in Chile has revealed.
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, or ALMA, operated by an international partnership, observed a young star about 1,400 light-years from Earth in the southern constellation of Vela ejecting material at high speed, causing surrounding gas to glow.
