Image for: First Stars in Universe Were Not Alone


View down onto the accretion disk that surrounds the newly born central star. Clearly visible are spiral arms of enhanced gas density which fragment to build up secondary stars. Blue colors indicate low density, red colors show regions of high density. The scale bar indicates a length of 30 Astronomical Units, where 1 Astronomical Unit corresponds to the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
