Scientists believe they have discovered a graveyard of ancient stars hiding within the Milky Way that stretches three time its height.
. In it, the researchers detailed the discovery of a massive graveyard of dead stars lying within the Milky Way and another mass of them outside of it.
The life cycle of stars has always been the same. They are born, they burn out, and they die. But, they don’t just vanish. Instead, their corpses are left to wander the Milky Way – or wherever they call home – for thousands, millions, and even billions of years. The discovery of this graveyard of ancient stars has finally given us a resting place for the massive stars that once called our galaxy home.
The scientists say that the massive stars that died in the Milky Way went supernova and then morphed into one of two different objects. Some had their outer layers blasted away, leaving the cores of the stars to turn into neutron stars, or they collapsed in on themselves, forming black holes. Together, the dead stars have created a beautiful, but startlingly huge graveyard of ancient stars.
While they discovered a large amount of the dead stars still residing within the Milky Way’s massive graveyard of ancient stars, around 30 percent of the rest of the dead stars are believed to have been expelled from the galaxy due to the force of their supernovas. Altogether, the sprawling necropolis is more than three times the Milky Way’s current height.
