A black hole changes the color of stars in the galaxy, and people wonder what’s going on. A discovery in the Astrophysical Journal from November 12 has the Polish Academy of Sciences, Michal Zajacek, noting the phenomena. A supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A sits near the center of the galaxy. That place pumped out gas that literally drained away the outer layers of various stars in the Milky Way. This may sound like an issue with five alarms, but there’s nothing to worry about at the moment. To hear Zajacek tell, the two large bubbles of gamma ray gas do not move much further than the immediate vicinity. It is currently argued that scientists can now more easily form a hypothesis about the formation of the black hole. The astrophysicist spoke to Science News about how the red giants were the main targets.
“The jet plane prefers to respond to large red giants,” he says. “They can be effectively removed by the jet.”
Their reporting further states that the size and shape of these stars make them very susceptible to gamma ray gases. Other red giants can grow up to 100 times the size of our sun. If you remove the red outer layer, it may be in danger immediately. As you move through these gases, the stars burn blue instead of red, and that is the color change.
Maybe discoverers of our planet could one day explore these kinds of movements. Other contemporaries in the scientific community have argued that there should be more to this situation than mere exposure to gas. Only time will tell.
In other space news, the United States recently unveiled its monk for Space Force. They will be known as Guardians, and the latest branch of the military described it on Twitter. “Today, after a year-long process that has yielded hundreds of submissions and research related to space personnel and members of the general public, we can finally share with you the name we will be familiar with: Guardians.”
Do you think we will undertake a galaxy within the next hundred years? Let us know in the comments!
