![ALMA, the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, detected protostellar outflow jets in the Milky Way's outer reaches, where metallicity is low. Since metallicity was also low in the ancient Universe, the discovery indicates that star formation now is similar to star formation in the early Universe. Image Credit: Ikeda et al.
