Detect mysterious intergalactic light streams

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has detected a massive infrared light in the dark intergalactic space.

Astronomers say mysterious light spreads across a wide range and glows with the total amount of infrared light emitted by galaxies that we once knew. They believed that the light could be originated from orphaned stars thrown out of the galaxy by gravity.

According to Daily Mail, by using scientific experimental missiles, NASA's CIBER astronomical observatory project captured images of cosmic infrared background at two shorter wavelengths of data that glass Spitzer astronomy recorded before.

Michael Zemcov, author of the paper describing the results of the CIBER project , said that the most plausible explanation for the phenomenon is the flow of light from stars outside the galaxy but within the halo of dark matter. . "Stars have been thrown from galaxies by gravity at great distances , " Zemcov said. He is also an astronomer at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena City, California.

"We think that stars are released into space during the collision with the galaxy. Although we have observed many instances of stars falling from the galaxy in tidal currents, the measurement results of We want to emphasize the spread of this new phenomenon, " explains Zemcov.

The new discovery redefines the concept of the galaxy. According to NASA, galaxies may not have a set of stars with boundaries. Instead, they stretch, and form a giant starfish and link together.

By using more infrared colors, future experiments under NASA's CIBER project could clearly identify the true origin of the mysterious light stream.
