Mysterious structures and filaments discovered in the Milky Way by scientists.

An international team of astrophysicists has discovered hundreds of mysterious structures in the center of the Milky Way galaxy. These one-dimensional cosmic threads are hundreds of horizontal or radial filaments, slender, elongated bodies of luminous gas that potentially originated a few million years ago when outflow from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole, interacted with surrounding materials. The researchers found the structures by analyzing images produced by the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory’s MeerKAT telescope.
