Milky way it is the galaxy of which our solar system is a part, and the sun is only one of the stars that are present there, millions of other stars also being discovered in the galaxy. However, after a lot of analysis and observations, researchers have only recently discovered something impressive about the Milky Way galaxy, and this could also give us some information about how the sun was formed a long time ago inside They.
Milky way has its current shape influenced by a smaller galaxy called Sagittarius, they interacted for billions of years, which also had important consequences. It turns out that many stars were formed over time thanks to the interaction between the two galaxies, and the sun in the Milky Way would have formed even in one of these interactions between the two galaxies, which we have not yet discovered .
The Milky Way: The AMAZING announcement, what happened to the Sun
Milky way had the ages of the stars verified by the Spaniards, which are at most 6500 light-years from the solar system, and they discovered that many stars were formed 5.7, 1.9, and 1 billion years ago. Moreover, it seems that the interaction between the Milky Way and the other galaxy is still generating star formation at the moment, and the sun would have formed when that galaxy passed about 26.000 light years away from solar system.
“You have the Milky Way in balance, mostly calm, and when Sagittarius passed it was like throwing a stone into a lake. It created these ripples in the galaxy's density, so some areas became denser and started forming stars more efficiently. Perhaps without Sagittarius, the solar system would not exist.”
Milky way it would still have stars formed thanks to the interaction with the Sagittarius galaxy, but no one can say with certainty what will happen in the next hundreds of millions of years. The process is one that takes place slowly, even if the Milky Way galaxy rotates at over 200 km/s, the vast space in the universe it occupies makes it very difficult to move, the same being true in the case of the galaxy of much larger sizes smaller.
Milky way it seems to be influenced by this third galaxy to a much greater extent than we imagined, which of course gives rise to a very large number of questions.
