Milky way today it has an incredible image published by scientists, who managed to reveal to us what many others have tried to do until now, but they did not succeed with as much success. More precisely, below you can see an animation that shows us the curvature of the Milky Way, which is not normally visible to anyone who does not have a very powerful telescope at hand to look at it carefully.
Milky way it is a spiral galaxy, and scientists have known for a long time that it has a curvature, and it would look exactly like potato chips, according to what they said. Based on this visual image, you can get an idea of how the galaxy we are part of looks like, and this is also visible in the image below which represents the Milky Way, and which shows us something that very few have seen until the present moment.
The Milky Way: The INCREDIBLE Image that SURPRISED Mankind
Milky way had this image made by scientists by analyzing the movements of the stars through the galaxy, and this is because this is the only way they managed to obtain an overall image of this kind. According to researchers, this curvature that the Milky Way has travels around it once every 440 million years, so extremely slowly, and that is why it is impossible to observe in a human lifetime, or millions of generations, so that we are left with simulations on the computer.
"Our usual image of a spiral galaxy is as a flat disc, thinner than a pancake, spinning peacefully around its center. But the reality is more complicated. Imagine you're in the stands at a football game, and the crowd starts going wild. All you do is stand up and sit down, but the effect is that the wave goes all the way around the stadium. It's the same with the galactic warp—the stars just move up and down, but the wave travels all the way around the galaxy."
Milky way he had many of his secrets revealed using simulations of this kind, and what we see above is exactly the same thing, but it is no less impressive for everyone. This phenomenon regarding the Milky Way is not singular either, and this is because all spiral galaxies have the same type of curvature, which probably moves equally slowly everywhere, so it is normal that the situation does not change in other areas from the universe.
Milky way it has, as you can see, the most important secrets revealed slowly, little by little, and that's because there is a great interest for the whole world to know about them.
