The images offer new information on star formation, galaxy structure and evolution.

这些图像提供了关于恒星形成、星系结构和演化的新信息。

Apparently, star formation in ellipticals came and went eons ago.

显然，椭圆星系中恒星的形成活动在很久以前就开始了。

The scientists link all three events to a sharp jump in Milky Way star formation.

科学家将这三次事件与银河系突然出现大规模形成恒星的情况联系起来。

No star formation occurs there, so any stars we do see WOULD be old.

那里没有恒星形成，所以我们看到的任何恒星都是很古老的。

Estimates vary, but star formation in most galaxies will start to peter out in a few billion years.

估计各不相同，但大多数星系的恒星形成将在几十亿年后开始消失。

Galaxy collisions and other events may trigger star formation after that, so maybe that'll extend things a bit.

在那之后，星系碰撞和其他事件可能会触发恒星的形成，所以这时间可能会稍微延长一些。

The Tarantula is a massive nursery of star formation.

狼蛛是恒星形成的巨大温床。

The second were more elderly examples in galaxies where star formation has ceased.

第二个是恒星形成已经停止的星系中更古老的例子。

The presence of dust clouds has been taken as evidence of recent star formation.

【take】尘云的出现被看作是最近有恒星形成的证据。

Pretty much the only place you find neutron stars is in the plane of the galaxy, where all the massive star formation takes place.

几乎唯一能找到中子星的地方就是星系平面，所有大质量恒星都在那里形成。

" These data are important as they give us a new view on the earliest phase of star formation, " said University of Oxford astronomer Thomas Williams.

牛津大学天文学家托马斯·威廉姆斯说：“这些数据很重要，它们让我们对恒星形成的最早阶段有了新的认识。”

There are about 150 star clusters in our galaxy, the Milky Way. In most of them, star formation stopped over 10 billion years ago.

在我们的银河系中大约有150个星团，银河系。在它们中的大多数中，恒星形成在100多亿年前就停止了。

Wanda found that star formation can affect supernovae, which suggests that these explosions are not only dependent on the mass of their host star.

万达发现恒星形成会影响超新星，这表明这些爆炸不仅取决于其主恒星的质量。

The burst of star formation may be powered by a merger of three smaller galaxies — the detailed new observations show that Himiko is not one homogenous blob but three separate luminous clumps.

行星爆炸式形成的驱动力可能来自于 3 个较小星系的合并——详细的研究证明 Himiko 并不是单一的发光体，而是三个独立的发光团。

" Anywhere you saw these molecules, baby stars were also right there... " Spilker noted that the power of the James Webb telescope permitted the team to find many areas with smoke but no star formation.

“在你看到这种分子的任何地方，新恒星也在那里… … ”斯皮尔克指出，詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜的强大功能使研究小组能够发现许多有烟雾但没有恒星形成的区域。

Filigrees of dust clouds align with the arms as well, and the central bulge or bar glows an eerie reddish yellow, the star formation there long since ceased, the bluer stars all exploded, leaving only the redder stars behind.

细丝状的尘雾也排列在星臂上，中央的凸起物或条状物发出怪异的红黄色，那里的恒星形成活动早就停止了，更蓝的恒星都爆炸了，只留下更红的恒星。
