NASA's new discovery of 'interstellar space' of stars in the Milky Way

A new image of the Milky Way galaxy, published by NASA scientists on December 19, shows an interesting image called "star lollipop" - a place where raw materials are stored during the formation of rows. tens of millions of stars.

This composite image shows the central region of the Milky Way , which is home to the largest and most massive giant molecular clouds of the galaxy. These clouds are extremely large and cold with gas and dust dense enough to form tens of millions of stars just like our Sun, NASA said.

In the center of this image it is easy to see an image that looks like a lollipop. It spans over 190 light-years and is one of the thin, long-shaped ionized gas bands.

Bright areas of red, yellow and turquoise, blue and green arches, and blurred highlights in this photo were captured by NASA's GISMO Observatory camera .

"We are amazed by the beauty of this picture. It is spectacular! When you look at it, you feel like you are looking at the special forces of nature in the universe," said Johannes Staguhn of Johns Hopkins University, who led the study, said in an article in the Astrophysical Journal of astrophysics.

Our solar system is only a small part of the Milky Way galaxy, which is composed of countless stars and gas dust that are held together by gravity.

"A significant part of the early star formation of the universe is still a mystery and we cannot detect them with the tools we have used. However, GISMO will do it." This is when it is capable of discovering things we could not have observed before, '' Mr. Staguhn said at a press conference.

The colorful image of the Milky Way center that NASA has released also shows a number of other important images. One of them is the sickle-shaped Sickle area , which is related to how stars were born. The picture also shows Sagittarius A - a bright orange region 27,000 light-years away. There is also a bright red Radio Arc area that cuts through the Sickle area.

The location and shape of these color bands gives us further evidence of the Milky Way's history. Several bands of color formed at the edge of a "bubble" once "blown away" by an "extremely powerful event in the center of the Milky Way" in the Sagittarius A region - where there is a supermassive black hole. of our galaxy.

Earlier, according to a study published on December 16, a massive star-forming explosion caused more than 100,000 supernova explosions in the central region of the Milky Way at its earliest.

Earlier, astronomers believed that star formation was continuous in the central region of the Milky Way's history. However, new data show that at the beginning of the galaxy's formation, 80% of its stars were formed in the central region.
