Milky Way will collide with nearby galaxy, hurtling solar system into space, report says

A nearby galaxy will slam into the Milky Way galaxy and send the solar system, where Earth resides, hurtling into space, Forbes announced, citing to a journal article in the Royal Astronomical Society. The effect that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a dwarf galaxy, could likewise awaken the Milky Way's dormant black hole, known as Sagittarius A*, the outlet detailed, citing the study. The hole would then devour surrounding gas, get ten times bigger and disperse high-energy radiation, the report said. Be that as it may, these "cosmic fireworks" are unlikely to affect life on Earth, except if it's as of now been hurled into space, as indicated by the report. The occasion could occur in around two billion years, as per astrophysicists at Durham University, who are working with the ...

The Hubble Telescope observes an enigmatic cloud near our Milky Way

Nebula IRAS 05437+2502 is situated in the constellation of Taurus (the Bull), near the focal plane of our Milky Way galaxy. Dissimilar to a significant number of Hubble's objectives, this object has not been contemplated in detail and its correct nature is misty. At first look it seems, by all accounts, to be a little, rather disconnected district of constellation, and one may accept that the impacts of furious bright radiation from splendid, youthful stars presumably were the reason for the eye-getting states of the gas. Be that as it may, the brilliant, boomerang-molded component may tell a more emotional story. The collaboration of a high-speed youthful star with the billow of gas and residue may have made this abnormally sharp-edged, splendid curve. Such a neglectful star would have...
