Decoding super-fast stars in 'Ngan river'

Astronomers believe that stars moving at up to 3.2 million km / h in the Milky Way have nearly been swallowed by black holes.

>>>Discovering the 'super speed' planet

Last month astronomers discovered six super-fast stars flying very fast near the black hole in the center of the Milky Way, where the dust density was so great that the light of most stars could not penetrate, Space reported.

"They are extremely fast moving objects and are not attracted to any gravitational force in the Milky Way. They have the mass of the sun," said Keith Hawkins, an astronomer at Ohio University in the United States. stated.

Hawkins and some colleagues are studying this star group. Their research could help scientists better understand how stars form from dust in the center of the Milky Way.

This is the first time astronomers have discovered super-fast stars. Although moving in the center of the Milky Way, they are not obscured by dust, so humans can observe them with telescopes.

Some astronomers predict supernovae as remnants of a binary star system. After the supermassive black hole in the center of a galaxy swallows one of the stars, it pushes the other star into space with tremendous speed.
