Feeding Galaxy Caught in Distant Searchlight

ESO's Very Large Telescope probes growth of galaxies

(PresseBox) (Garching bei München, )
Astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope have spotted a distant galaxy hungrily snacking on nearby gas. Gas is seen to fall inwards towards the galaxy, creating a flow that both fuels star formation and drives the galaxy's rotation. This is the best direct observational evidence so far supporting the theory that galaxies pull in and devour nearby material in order to grow and form stars. The results will appear in the 5 July 2013 issue of the journal Science.

Astronomers have always suspected that galaxies grow by pulling in material from their surroundings, but this process has proved very difficult hh mysivyp axtkbxai.
