Shock waves drive new stars

Shock waves drive new stars


The waves that occur when the galaxies collide excite the hydrogen, which will form new stars.

Through the ESA Infrared Observatory, the superposition of two galaxies (NGC 4038/4039) has been studied, an area rich in hydrogen molecules. Since there is no other agent, it has been concluded that this group of hydrogen is formed by shock waves.
