The Milky Way Has a Mysterious ‘Broken Bone’

If you look comb Milky Through a powerful telescope, you will see that the galaxy is close to the center of the galaxy that has extended filaments that appear in the contour of its spiral. Scientists have a nickname for these structures: “Galactic bones.” Recently, astronomers believe that one of the bones is “broken” and now they are guilty of them: he collides with him.

According to NASAThese bones are a large stretching combination of energy particles that are spiral along the magnetic fields of the galaxy. Fabrics releases radio waves and can be found using radio telescopes.

Scientists found a few such bones in the galaxy, but one of the most surprisingly is called G359.13142-0.20005, as well as “snake”. This is a 230-year-old filament that appears to be broken. Both the brightest one. One of the first explanations was that the unstoppable body was disturbing the philaments.

A study by Harvard University was published in the magazine Monthly notification of the Royal Astronomical Societyset out to try this assumption. A profit involved in the research group, a neutron star, high speed, a neutron star in the same region with a broken bone. These stars are extremely tight and small remains remain after the explosion of the supermassive star.

NASA used Chandra X-Ray ObservatoryBesides, orbit Meerkat Telescope massy in South Africa and A very large massif In the New Mexico-two system, which discovered radio waves, the traces of a profit found in the filament. According to these observers, the pulsar estimates that the pulsar affects the bone with a speed of 1.609,000 and 3.218,000 kilometers per hour. In a suspicious clash, the radio distorted the magnetic field, the radio signal is thought to be deformed.

In the above image, the above image, the snake can be seen and a body that interacts in the middle of the length. Perhaps the above nutron star.

Along with pulsaries, compact items, it is an alternative versions of a neutron star that produces high speeds and strong magnetic fields. At present, there is no tool that can directly see them directly due to their dimensions, but radio telescopes can reveal electromagnetic waves and turning them into voice.
