Astronomers in the United States have found a new class of unusual celestial bodies, at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. The University of California researchers team said that these objects look like gas, but their behavior is similar to that of stars. The team had announced in the current issue of the British “Nature” magazine, the discovery of four heavenly bodies that were not known so far, bringing the number of bodies of this type to six.
The team, which works under the supervision of the scientist Andrea Gies, found in 2005 the first such object, and they called it G1, and it rotates in the orbit of a giant black hole in the center of the galaxy, and comes very close to it, from time to time. Meanwhile, scientists from the German Max Planck Institute for Non-Earth Physics in 2012 managed to find another body and called it the G2 code, which passed in 2014 near the center of the black hole.
Jez mentioned that when G2 once again approached the black hole he had managed to leave a truly rare footprint, adding: “We had seen this before, but it did not seem very strange, until it approached the black hole and expanded.”
The scientist pointed out that this object loses a large part of its gas during this time, and turns from a non-striking one to an extended and deformed one when it approaches the big black hole. The Geez team has so far found four other bodies in the center of the huge black hole at the center of the Milky Way, they called them codes from G3 to G6, “We now have a grouping of G bodies,” researcher Anna Ciorlo, a Geez fellow, said, adding : That is, it is not a matter of revealing the truth of a unique event such as G2.
Jeez suggests that these six bodies are fused together, or are double stars that still fuse together. Although the G2 had lost its gaseous casing as it approached the black hole, it did not lose the thick dust casing inside the gas, which means that there is something that maintains its consistency and prevents it from melting, and enables it to survive after meeting the black hole, according to Ciorlo, adding : This is evidence of the presence of asteroid inside the G2.
At the same time, according to researchers, this group of celestial bodies is likely to have an impact on the activity of the center of the black hole, by feeding it with gas every time it approaches it, in which this explains Mark Morris, one of the study participants: “When this happens it becomes The hole is able to produce massive fiery forms, because the heat that the black hole swallows rises strongly and emits a lot of radiation, before it disappears behind the event horizon.

Space from the American desert
The image of the American Brad Goldpint shows the vast landscape of the Mojave Desert in Utah: in addition to the photographer himself, the moon and the Andromeda Galaxy can be seen. This photo won first place in a photography competition and the prize value was ten thousand pounds.

Aurora Borealis in Finland
Twilight lights appear in the image as if it stretched to infinity, and French photographer Nicolas Livodo caught this image in northwest Finland, and he had less than a minute before the light in the picture faded.

Old galaxies
The “NGC 3521” galaxy that appeared here was discovered in 1784, about 26 million light-years away from our solar system. In order to be able to capture this image, the shutter was set to expose to light for more than 20 hours.

The negative moon
Often times, astronomers reverse the colors shown by displaying the negative image of the image, so that fine details are visible in space. In this image, this method showed a clear picture of the moon showing some of the characteristics of its soil.

The eclipse is formed
During the solar eclipse in August 2017, this photo was taken by Nicolas Levodo. Unclearly, near the sun and to the right of the image, Mars appears in red.

Venus
Just before sunset, this graceful image of Venus was taken, using a sophisticated technology based on a special video camera with sharp focal lengths that finally allowed the photographer to capture this scene.

Inconspicuous lights
City lights can blend beautifully with the sparkle of stars. This image was taken by Hungarian Ferintz Cimar during the winter haze, and shows a clear path for the stars due to the long exposure time above the horizon.

A meteorite in the dolomite
The fifteen-year-old photographer, Fabian Dalbez, was in the right place at the right time, taking a 50-millimeter lens with this amazing image of meteorites behind the southern Dolomites. In the picture, the moon appears over an autumn scene.
