The NGC 3627 galaxy as seen with ALMA
This image of the nearby galaxy NGC 3627, taken with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ESO is a partner, shows the distribution of cold clouds of molecular gas, which provide the raw material from which stars form.
NGC 3627 is a spiral galaxy located approximately 31 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Leo.
The images were taken as part of the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) project, which is making high-resolution observations of nearby galaxies with telescopes operating across the electromagnetic spectrum.
