Galactic wind spotted for the first time

Powerful winds from the dawn of the universe have been detected by scientists for the first time - 12 billion light years away from Earth.
Travelling at 500 miles per second, astronomers think these gusts of cosmic gas are instrumental in controlling the emergence of stars and the galaxies they are part of.
"Galaxies are complicated, messy beasts, and we think outflows and winds are critical pieces to how they form and evolve, regulating their ability to grow," explained University of Texas at Austin astronomer Dr Justin Spilker, who led the research.
Using observations from the ALMA observatory in northern Chile, Dr Spilker and his colleagues were able to detect traces of these winds from a time shortly after the Big Bang, when the universe was only one billion years old.
Galaxies such as our own, the Milky Way, have a history of relatively slow, controlled star birth, with about one new star emerging every year.
However, thousands of stars can emerge in the same space of time in
starburst galaxies.
These will rapidly consume the gas reservoir they rely on to form new stars, so their lifespans tend to be relatively short.
Galaxies avoid this early death when they eject vast quantities of gas early on, slowing down the rate of star formation and producinggalactic winds.
These astronomical weather patterns can be seen in nearby galaxies using conventional X-ray and radio techniques from Earth.
However, identifying them in the farthest reaches of the universe, which provides insight into its early years, is far harder.
ALMA was able to pin down the effect in the galaxy known as SPT2319-
55 using gravitational lensing, the process by which gravity bends light and in doing so magnifies events that would otherwise be impossible to observe using existing technology.
This technique has previously allowed scientists to identify planets far beyond the Milky Way for the first time.
In their distant galaxy, the team was able to detect large amounts of cold gas flowing outwards from the ancient galaxy at approximately the same rate as new stars are forming.
"So far, we have only observed one galaxy at such a remarkable cosmic distance, but we'd like to know if winds like these are also present in other galaxies to see just how common they are," said Dr Spilker.
