Scientists using Gaia data have discovered a massive wave rippling through the Milky Way's disc, affecting stars thousands of light-years from the center, likely caused by past galactic interactions, though the exact cause remains unknown.
Astronomers using ESA's Gaia telescope have discovered a colossal wave rippling through the Milky Way, originating from its center and affecting a large portion of the galaxy, possibly caused by a past galactic encounter or related to other galactic structures, revealing new insights into our galaxy's dynamic behavior.
Gaia telescope data reveals a giant wave rippling through the Milky Way's outer disc, caused by large-scale vertical motions of stars, possibly due to past galactic interactions, offering new insights into our galaxy's dynamic structure.
