Posted Wed Apr 24 2013: from NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory: Galaxy Goes Green in Burning Stellar Fuel http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1366833236 Astronomers have spotted the "greenest" of galaxies, one that converts fuel into stars with almost 100-percent efficiency. The findings come from NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the IRAM Plateau de Bure interferometer in the French Alps.
