MACSJ 0138 Helps Scientists to Infer Presence of Gas

Caption

This composite image of galaxy cluster MACSJ 0138 shows data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, as observed by REsolving QUIEscent Magnified galaxies at high redshift, or the REQUIEM survey. The early massive galaxies studied by REQUIEM were found to be lacking in cold hydrogen gas, the fuel required to form stars.
