This is an image of dwarf galax NGC 1140 , which is ten times smaller than the Milky Way but is producing stars at roughly the same rate as our endearing galaxy . The blue stars in the trope are the new ones .
Via theEuropean Space Agency :
Galaxies like NGC 1140 — small , starbursting and containing large amounts of primordial gas with way fewer element gruelling than atomic number 1 and atomic number 2 than present in our Sun — are of particular interest to astronomers . Their composition do them similar to the intensely lead - forming wandflower in the early Universe . And these other Universe galaxies were the building blocks of present - daytime large galaxies like our galaxy , the Milky Way . But , as they are so far away these early Universe galaxies are harder to canvass so these closer starbursting galaxies are a good substitute for learning more about extragalactic nebula evolution .
The vigorous star topology organisation will have a very destructive effect on this small dwarf galaxy in its hereafter . When the great virtuoso in the wandflower decease , and blow up as supernovae , gas is go down on into space and may easily escape the gravitational twist of the galaxy . The projection of gas from the galaxy means it is throwing out its potentiality for future stars as this gas is one of the construction block of star establishment . NGC 1140 ’s starburst can not last for long .
