The light from the galaxy known as MAMBO-9 traveled for 13 billion years to reach us, making it the most distant star-forming galaxy ever observed with a telescope.
No, it's not a follow-up song to Lou Bega's one-hit wonder"Mambo No. 5."
This monster galaxy is considered a giant stellar nursery and is full of dust, a required ingredient to form stars. The rate of star formation in a galaxy like this can reach a few thousand times the mass of our sun each year -- compared to our own galaxy, which forms three solar masses in a year. The surprising thing about this galaxy, imaged using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in Chile, is its age.
