The scientific team of scientists studying the phenomena of astronomy, came to an interesting conclusion. It turns out that about a third of the stars of the Milky Way are constantly migrating to affect its actual location in the starry sky.
Analyzing star map of our galaxy (the Milky Way) the staff of the State University of New Mexico greatly surprised by the number of stars. Scientists studied the materials for a new star map of this area of the sky. In the end, it turned out that about a third of all existing in the galaxy of stars changed their place of usual location.
When preparing an updated map, astronomers used the materials obtained by the spectroscope APOGEE. The device was saving information for four years researching for this time hundreds of thousands of cosmic light. The device itself to observe the stars is based in the US state of New Mexico in the territory of Apache Point Observatory.
unravel the mystery of “wandering stars”, that’s how the experts have called the phenomenon of the change of its location some sun helped analyze their chemical composition. In particular, the measured content of elements such as iron, silicon and carbon. It was found that about 30% of the stars of the Milky Way really changed the place of his “home».
Milky Way (or Galaxy , with a capital letter) – a galaxy that contains the Earth, the solar system and all the individual stars visible to the naked eye. It refers to a barred spiral galaxies.
The Milky Way with the Andromeda Galaxy (M31), the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), and more than 40 karlikovymigalaktikami satellites – his and Andromeda – form a local group of galaxies, which is a local supercluster (Virgo supercluster).
