Introduction In the cosmic tapestry, galaxies stand as sprawling structures hosting stars, planetary systems, and a plethora of celestial phenomena. Among them, the Milky Way serves as our cosmic residence. Yet, our galaxy is part of a broader cosmic neighborhood, and the closest galaxy to the Milky Way is the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). The following […]
Scientists have a firm belief that there are millions of planets in our neighboring, Andromeda Galaxy. However, they have only identified one so far, named PA-99-N2, due to a microlensing event in 1999. Therefore, this confirmation makes it the very first extragalactic planet. Finding planets in space is challenging because they don’t emit their own […]
Sagittarius A* is a gigantic black hole sitting at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy. What is the Difference between Sagittarius A* & Black Holes? When compared to black holes in the center of other galaxies we’ve observed, Sagittarius A* doesn’t shine as bright. This suggests that, unlike its counterparts, this black hole hasn’t […]
The Milky Way has been a subject of fascination and wonder for humans for decades.
