Milky way it is the galaxy of which our solar system is a part, but only recently researchers have made an absolutely amazing discovery about it, and it could explain a lot of what we know now. According to the researchers, approximately 3.5 million years ago, the center of the Milky Way galaxy would have exploded, and the "breath" of this explosion would have been felt at a distance of approximately 200.000 light-years, so very far.
The Milky Way is host to many celestial bodies, so an explosion of this kind is very important, and puts into perspective what happened in the cosmic space of which we are also a part. The explosion was very powerful, and emitted radiation in a conical shape towards both poles of the Milky Way, so if there are other forms of life in our galaxy, they most likely felt it at that moment.
The Milky Way: INCREDIBLE revelation that STUNNED the ENTIRE Planet
The Milky Way had at its center what is called a Seyfert flame, this created a pair of ionized cones that passed through all the bodies in the galaxy that came into its path. Near the center of the explosion in the Milky Way, these cones had a very small diameter, but it expanded as the waves propagated towards the corners of the galaxy, so a very large surface in this area of the universe was affected.
"Researchers find evidence of a cataclysmic flare that crashed so far outside the Galaxy its impact was felt 200.000 light-years away. A titanic, expanding beam of energy emerged from a nearly supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way just 3,5 million years ago, sending a cone-shaped burst of radiation through both poles of the Galaxy and out into deep space.”
The Milky Way was furrowed by a very strong light when this explosion took place, its source being so strong that it illuminated for a short period of time a huge area in the galaxy. This explosion took place 63 million years after the dinosaurs disappeared, so although 3.5 million years seems like a very long time, for the Milky Way and the Earth it is as if we were talking about a few of our years.
The Milky Way would have been affected by this explosion for about 300.000 years, that is, a short period of time when we refer to the universe, and it will be interesting now to see what other conclusions the analysts will draw.
