Discovery of a new astronomical member of the Milky Way galaxy family

 Epiphany, Germany: We know our own galaxy as the Milky Way, which began to form 12 billion years ago. Since then, many galaxies and galaxies have been merging and becoming part of it.



But now the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft says the process is still ongoing and that the past, present and future of the Milky Way could be shaped by this data. This can be used to construct and understand a national tree or family tree. The bottom line is that many smaller galaxies have come together to form the Milky Way as we see it today.

Khayati Mulhan and his colleagues from the Max Planck Institute, Germany's astronomical department, have carefully scrutinized Gaia's spacecraft data. They were looking for small galaxies near the Milky Way. These galaxies are located around the halo (hello) of the Milky Way, which has a saucer of young stars and old stars rising in the center. It should be noted that the old stars keep the national highway slightly brighter.

According to scientists, when outer galaxies approach the Milky Way, they begin to scatter due to gravitational waves. If this process were to take place slowly, the shape of these galaxies would become like a stream of light or a strip of stars. This wave or strip of light can be easily seen and studied by separating it from the galactic halo. And if this process starts to happen faster, then the stars of the small galaxy will start scattering faster in the halo and no very obvious signs will appear.

But keep in mind that galaxies connected to the Milky Way galaxy, large or small, may contain thousands of millions, millions, or perhaps even millions of galaxy star clusters and other smaller galaxies. That is why scientists have studied it.


So far, 170 clusters of stars, 41 bright bands of stars, and 46 small galaxies have been discovered inside or around the Milky Way. They were then divided into 6 groups based on their size, energy and momentum. Each group was merging with the national highway.

But another alien group, called the Ponts, has been dispersed by the gravitational pull of the country's highway. It is thought to have started falling into the Milky Way 8 to 10 billion years ago. This suggests that the seemingly simple Milky Way galaxy is very complex and that the Pontus Galaxy is an alien galaxy that is now approaching the Milky Way and forming it.
