In 2013, World-Universe Model (WUM) made one of the most important predictions: "Macroobjects of the World have cores made up of the discussed DM (Dark Matter) particles. Other particles, including DM and baryonic matter, form shells surrounding the cores" [1]. Prof. R. Genzel and A....
Besides our Milky Way galaxy, there are millions and millions of galaxies in the known universe. The Hubble Space Telescope discovered more than 10,000 galaxies by viewing a small part of space continuously for 12 days. What is the Milky Way? Our Sun is a star, which is the central part...
The data obtained by the recent modern sky surveys enable detailed studies of the stellar distribution in the multi‐dimensional space spanned by spatial coordinates, velocity and metallicity, from the solar neighborhood all the way out to the outer Milky Way halo. While these results represent exc...
More recently, astronomers have been trying to figure out what type of galaxy the Milky Way is. Our best estimates these days suggest that it is a barred spiral, meaning that there is a bar structure across the center. Astronomers can estimate the shape of the Milky Way by looking at its...
Astronomers used to think that all of the stars in theuniversewere part of the Milky Way, but that changed in the 1920s when Edwin Hubble, the American astronomer after whom the famous telescope is named, managed to calculate the distance of the Andromeda nebula (today known as the Andromeda...
It was the best way to end the Milky Way season. The night sky is my favorite thing to shoot. I love the calm and quiet and being one with the universe. Instagram Facebook-f “Enchanted Monastery” – Ramón Morcillo “Enchanted Monastery” – Ramón Morcillo Ávila – Spain ...
The sharp halo age distribution cutoff at ten billion years ago can be identified with the time of accretion of Gaia-Enceladus to the Milky Way. Together with state-of-the-art cosmological simulations of galaxy formation7, these robust ages allow us to order the early sequence of events ...
Crucially, this sample includes not only some of the oldest stars that were formed inside the Galaxy but also stars formed externally and subsequently accreted onto the Milky Way. Leveraging this resolution in age, we provide compelling evidence in favour of models in which the Galaxy had already...
1. Ice Age Epochs and Milky Way Spiral Arm Passages: Figure 1 - The cosmic ray link between solar activity and the terrestrial climate. The changing solar activity is responsible for a varying solar wind strength. A stronger wind will reduce the flux of cosmic ray reaching Earth, since a ...
The first image of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Credit: Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration Astronomers have at long last seen the center of the Milky Way galaxy, unmasking a giant black hole, a celestial vortex 26,000 light-years from Earth that should ...
