![ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, detected protostellar outflow jets in the Milky Way's outer reaches, where metallicity is low. Since metallicity was also low in the ancient Universe, the discovery indicates that star formation now is similar to star formation in the early Universe. Image Credit: Ikeda et al.

A team of Japanese astronomers has detected protostellar outflow jets in the outer regions of the Milky Way. This is the first detection of this type of jets in this part of the galaxy. Since this part of the galaxy is similar to the more ancient Universe, it's evidence that star formation in the modern Universe is similar to star formation in the ancient Universe.
