✨ Scientists have finally solved a massive cosmic mystery! Using the powerful ALMA telescope, astronomers have discovered how the universe's largest stars grow so big despite their own radiation trying to blow them apart.

The answer? Vast "cosmic streamers"—interstellar gas highways that funnel material directly onto young, growing stars, overpowering their intense feedback. This discovery challenges the long-held belief that large accretion disks were solely responsible for feeding these giants.

🔭 In This Video, We Cover:
✔️ The puzzle of high-mass star formation: Why their own radiation should prevent them from growing.
✔️ The new ALMA observations that revealed never-before-seen gas streamers.
✔️ How these "cosmic highways" deliver fuel from thousands of astronomical units away.
✔️ Why researchers were surprised to find either no disk or an extremely small one around the star.
✔️ What this means for our understanding of star formation across the universe.
