The innovation of galaxy 10bn light years away

A set of scientists from the UK and the US has discovered a galaxy distant from us which is churning out stars 250 times quicker than our Milky Way. The innovation of the galaxy, about 10 billion light years away as of the earth, will assist researchers know how the Milky Way was created. Galaxy SMM J2135- 0102 has four distinctive star- forming regions, each one of which is 100 times brighter than Milky Way locations such as the Orion Nebula.

The team which discovered the galaxy was led via scientists as of the UK's Durham University.

Link connecting Milky Way Galaxy as well as 2012 Mayan Calendar

The majority astronomers are now persuaded that at the center of our Galaxy is a massive black hole the inconceivable seize of millions of our suns. This is where Science and Mythology in fact meet. For what the center of our Galaxy might symbolize in terms of energy and the properties of time/space, no one has a hint.


However to the prehistoric Maya the Milky Way Galaxy represented the Great Cosmic Mother on or after which all Life was birthed. They saw our Galactic Mother stretching out transversely the night sky and by some means identify the place where all had come from. And the huge innermost bulge at her center they perceived as the Cosmic Womb. Inside the central bulge there is what looks similar to a dark corridor, identified as the dark rift. To the Maya it was referred to by a lot of names but the most relevant here is their reference to this region as the "birthing place".

Are we commencement to get the picture here?

Taking into consideration then the implication of the 2012 date in the Mayan calendar, it has been exposed that this year specifically points to a period of time when the December Solstice Sun bring into line with and arises out from the background of the dark rift, the "Galactic Birth Canal" in the middle bulge. It's as if the Sun is in fact being birthed anew from the Galactic Womb.

Catastrophic incident in premature Universe could have halted development of our Milky Way

A 'catastrophic incident' halted the delivery of new stars in a newborn galaxy 10 billion years ago, scientists revealed today.

They believe and explain why premature giant galaxies like Milky Way didn’t just keep on growing after they had formed.

The group from Durham University, experiential the huge galaxy, called SMM J1237+6203, as it would have appeared now three billion years following the Big Bang while the Universe was a quarter of its present age.
 According to their result the galaxy exploded in a sequence of blasts trillions of times more influential than any caused by an atomic bomb. The scientists said blasts happened each second for millions of years.

The detonation scattered the gas required to form new stars by helping it flee the gravitational pull of the galaxy, efficiently regulating
its growth.

They consider the huge surge of energy was caused by either the outflow of debris from the galaxy's black hole or since powerful winds generated by dying stars called supernovae.

The research, funded by the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society, is in print in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Observations of the galaxy, in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, were carried out by means of the Gemini Observatory here on Earth.

Star confirms- Milky Way ate smaller galaxies

A lately found star in a remote dwarf galaxy is chemically alike to stars found in our galaxy's "halo," supporting the thought that the Milky Way "ate" other galaxies.

Astronomers said the star, found in the Sculptor galaxy 280,000 light-years away, is extremely low in "metals,”. In astronomy, metals are any elements other than hydrogen and helium.


Such metal-poor stars are considered to be very old, since they were uncommon in the premature universe. Elements heavier than helium are shaped as a result of star evolution processes, such as nuclear fusion, fission and supernovas.

"This star is probably almost as old as the universe itself," said astronomer Anna Frebel of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, lead author of the paper relating the star in Nature this week.

Frebel and her contemporaries used high-resolution spectroscopy to search the star for 11 diverse chemical elements, and found that its composition is similar to stars found in the Milky Way's "halo."
The halo stars contain metal levels 100,000 times lower than those found in the sun. The star originates in the dwarf galaxy, called S1020549, and has metal levels 4,000 times lesser than the sun, much lower than any other star in a dwarf galaxy.

The spectroscopic results came as of the Magellan-Clay telescope in Las Campanas, Chile.
The finding ropes the theory that the halo produced by the Milky Way gobbling up stars from smaller galaxies, the researchers said.

 "The original plan that the halo of the Milky Way was created by destroying a lot of dwarf galaxies does indeed appear to be correct," said Josh Simon, an astronomer at the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution, in a declaration.
