University of Florida astronomers helped create the largest and most detailed image ever made of the center of the Milky Way, giving scientists an unprecedented look at the raw material that forms new stars.
The image comes from the ALMA CMZ Exploration Survey, or ACES, a global effort to map the dense clouds of gas that surround the Milky Way’s central black hole. UF astrophysicist Adam Ginsburg, Ph.D., co-led the team responsible for processing the massive dataset, supported by UF researchers and graduate students Nazar Budaiev, Alyssa Bulatek, Savannah Gramze and Desmond Jeff.
