Abstract

The article offers information on the birth place of giants stars revealed by the telescopes at the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. It states that the astronomers have seen into the heart of a massive cloud of cold dust and gas near the Galactic Centre that, because it blocks visible light, had been dubbed the 'brick.'
