Milky way is at the center of a bizarre discovery because scientists have discovered that something is hiding in our galaxy that they didn't think they would see too soon, but something that actually exists there. More precisely, the scientists who carefully monitor our galaxy have discovered a completely unusual solar system, it is made up of 6 stars that revolve around each other, constantly eclipsing in relation to the Earth.
Milky way this solar system would be approximately 2000 light-years away from Earth, i.e. far enough for it to appear as a single bright object, which occasionally darkens. This darkness we are talking about is based on the fact that one of the stars constantly interposes itself between the solar system and the Earth, and so it seems that that bright spot in the Milky Way is sometimes dark, but it is not.
The Milky Way: The BIZAR discovery, what is HIDDEN in the Galaxy
Milky way it is the host for many unusual objects, but now we are talking about something that amazed many of the researchers, and that is because they rarely have the opportunity to see something like this. A solar system consisting of 6 stars orbiting each other is not exactly something common even for the Milky Way, and they are generally very difficult to observe, so the situation itself is one that has raised a lot of question marks for the people of science.
"This six-star system is far enough from Earth (a little less than 2.000 light-years away) that telescopes cannot resolve its individual stars, which fade into a single point of light. Instead, astronomers were able to spot that point of light that brightens and fades in an unusual pattern due to the stars' propensity to eclipse each other regularly."
Milky way it has three systems of this kind discovered so far, so we are talking about something rare in the research done over the course of hundreds of years, but it is possible that there are many more in the galaxy. This solar system was discovered only because the orbit of the stars perfectly aligns with that of the Earth, and so the researchers who monitor the Milky Way managed to discover what was hidden at such a great distance from our planet.
Milky way other solar systems of this kind will certainly be discovered in the future, but it remains to be seen how many more will become visible, and how long it will take until new discoveries appear.
