In a 6 Nov 2017 press release (http://www.almaobservatory.org/en/press-release/forest-of-molecular-signals-in-star-forming-galaxy/) from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), astronomers have found eight molecular clouds in the galaxy NGC 253 in Sculptor.





Certainly something to ponder next time you observe NGC 253! :thumbsup:
