Why
Astronomers discovered a huge reservoir of molecular gas in REBELS-25, an ancient galaxy from the epoch of reionization, revealing how early galaxies grew so quickly.
The Frontline Impact
How this affects you
This discovery provides direct evidence that some galaxies in the early Universe were extremely rich in molecular gas, which is the fuel from which stars are born. Understanding these physical properties is essential for reconstructing the processes that led to the formation of the first galaxies and understanding the evolution of the Universe.
