  • Largest ALMA image ever sheds light on extreme star formation at Milky Way’s center A striking new image of our Milky Way’s center, captured by ALMA, spans more than 650 light-years. A team of astronomers has captured the heart of our Milky Way galaxy like never before. Obtained using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), their striking new image sheds light on the life of stars in our galaxy’s most extreme region-near the supermassive black hole at its core. The region in the new image spans more than 650 light-years, making it the largest ALMA image ever. The Milky Way gal
