The Milky Way has revealed a new astonishing discovery that has surprised many scientists, and this is because we are talking about something that has not been seen in the galaxy until now. Scientists have discovered a new structure in the Milky Way that they knew nothing about until recently, and this surprised them in many ways because it has been in the galaxy all along, but it seems that it was difficult to detect in the images surprise for her.
The Milky Way has this discovery made after decades upon decades of analyzing the galaxy using high-powered telescopes, and scientists have chosen to use the name Cattail for it. We are talking about a very large area of the Milky Way that contains gases released over time, but scientists are amazed that they have not been able to detect such a huge structure until now, as it remains hidden from everyone.
Milky Way: AMAZING Discovery That Amazed Researchers
The Milky Way could have in this structure the largest gas filament that has been discovered so far in our galaxy, but there is no explanation for the lack of information about it until now. It is interesting that this gas filament would not follow the curvature of the Milky Way galaxy and is located in an edge area, and this could be an explanation for the lack of information regarding its existence until now.
"The HI structure is 1,1 kpc long, which appears to be the most distant and largest giant filament in the Galaxy so far, and we call it the Cattail. The question of how such a huge filament is produced in the extreme Galactic location remains open. Alternatively, Cattail could be part of a new arm ... although it is puzzling that the structure does not fully follow the warp of the galactic disc."
The Milky Way would have this gas filament at a distance of approximately 71.750 light years from its center, being the most distant filament of this kind discovered in the galaxy. The researchers also calculated that the filament would have a length of approximately 3590 light years and a thickness of 675 light years, so we are talking about a structure of impressive dimensions that has eluded scientists until now.
The Milky Way still hides many secrets from humanity, and each discovery of this kind shows us everything that is still to be discovered in relation to the mysteries that are in it.
