Changing face of the galaxy has been revealed through a new video being released by European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. The movement of nearly 2 million stars has been traced 5 million years into the future.
Hubble Space Telescope Captured Detailed View Of NGC 1448. It is One Of The Closest Galaxy Of Milky Way. On January 2017 Scientist Daniel Stern discovered a black hole in the center of NGC 1448.
Thanks to the latest from the NASA Hubble Space Telescope astronomers may now be poised to understand the origins of our galaxy more clearly. A team of scientists led by astrophysicist Nicolas Lehner of the University of Notre Dame used the Hubble to find a massive gas halo surrounding the Andromeda Galaxy, our closest neighbor.
One of the largest questions to date has been what building materials were present at the formation of our Milky Way galaxy? Astronomers have long theorized that the building material may have come from the death of supermassive stars, however, the galaxy-building dust is thought to burn up in a supernova like that. But now researchers are saying that may not be the case at all. In a new study published this week in the journal Science Express, researchers with Cornell University have made the first direct discovery of dust used to build the cosmos at the center of the Milky Way, and they believe it may have resulted from an ancient supernova.
