Artist's illustration of a dusty, rotating distant galaxy, in the early universe. In this image, the red color represents gas, and blue/brown represents dust as seen in radio waves with ALMA. Many other galaxies are visible in the background, based on optical data from VLT and Subaru. Animated version: https://vimeo.com/467391159/ef7ec0f163.
