The mysterious 'Great Wall' appeared in the middle of the galaxy containing the Earth

A known, invisible healing structure is preventing cosmic rays from entering the heart of the galaxy containing the Milky Way Earth.

A team of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing examined a map of radioactive gamma rays - the most energetic form of light in the universe, arising from cosmic rays carrying extremely fast particles. high. They discovered that they were crashing into some form of massive wall-like matter surrounding the center of the Earth-containing galaxy, creating explosive explosions.

This map also reveals another mystery that is accelerating particles at terrifying speeds, close to the speed of light, creating countless cosmic rays and gamma rays just outside the galactic center, blowing a storm. High-energy storms continuously into space. And even so, thanks to the mysterious "wall" mentioned above, the core of the galaxy seems to be very peaceful because most of the cosmic rays pointing inward are blocked.

According to Live Science, how this cosmic wall works and why it exists is still a mystery.

Previously, it was suspected that it was the "monster" black hole at the center of the galaxy that was responsible for accelerating protons and electrons to close to the speed of light and creating a "sea of ​​cosmic rays" throughout our galaxy. However, this new study shows that the black hole is innocent because the region around it is very low in cosmic rays.

There are a number of other possible sources believed to be responsible for the sea of ​​cosmic rays, such as strong stellar winds from massive stars crammed in the center of the galaxy, or ancient supernovas. However, scientists say more research is needed.

The study has just been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications.
