It does, however, contain a huge amount of gas and dust, giving rise to rapid star formation. New stars form at a rate of approximately one solar mass every two years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The abundance of gas clouds in the Triangulum Galaxy is precisely what drew astronomers to conduct this detailed survey. When <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Stellar_evolution#Birth_of_a_star\">stars are born<\/a>, they use up material in these clouds of gas and dust, leaving less fuel for new stars to emerge.
