Milky way has on Easter announced a discovery that no one ever thought possible, researchers observing something truly unusual in our galaxy. More precisely, researchers from the University of California, Irvine, discovered that in the Milky Way galaxy, stars are "thrown" towards its edge, all following the explosions of some stars, but also the way our galaxy rotates every moment of every day.
Milky way has had many star explosions throughout its existence, known in the astronomical environment as supernova, and the energy released as a result of these phenomena pushes some stars towards the edge of the galaxy. The researchers needed a very long period of analysis and observation of the Milky Way galaxy to reach this conclusion, and the discovery itself shows us how much the stars move in the galaxy.
Milky Way: The AMAZING Announcement of Galaxy Explosions
Milky way about 40% of the stars that are there would be pushed to its edge, the number being of course a very large one, and at the base it has many explosions that have taken place over time in the galaxy. For the time being, researchers have not been able to determine how long stars have been "thrown" from the center of the Milky Way galaxy towards its outer halo, but since they estimate that 40% of those there have been "thrown", it is clear that the situation has been taking place for a very long period of time, and of course it will continue for billions of years.
"FIRE-2 simulations allow us to generate movies that look like you're observing a real galaxy. They show us that as the center of the galaxy rotates, a bubble driven by supernova feedback develops, with stars forming at its edge. It looks like the stars are off center. These highly accurate numerical simulations have shown us that it is possible for the Milky Way to launch stars into circumgalactic space in streams triggered by supernova explosions."
Milky way it has millions of stars inside it, so it is expected that the number of those that were "thrown" from the center to the edges of the galaxy will also be in the order of millions over time. Until now, researchers have not been able to directly observe any such event, considering that star explosions occur extremely rarely and after long periods of instability, but even so, the Milky Way continues to have its mysteries revealed .
Milky way it has been much more intensively monitored in recent years by researchers, and this whole process will continue so that as many secrets as possible can be explained.
