Astronomy is going through its golden period. New discoveries happen every year, and century-old mysteries are now being answered.
The Nature Astronomy team of astronomers from Durham University, UK, the University of Helsinki, and Finland solved one of the mysteries of why no galaxies are similar to the Milky Way in the universe.
Teams of these universities have been working together to find the answers to the galaxies. The mystery has baffled scientists for decades. Since the universe has trillions of galaxies, we have not found spiral galaxies like our Milky Way.
Scientists were trying to answer why the Milky Way, like galaxies, is absent from the super galactic plane. The super galactic plane is a vast structure almost a billion light years across in length. It has a massive amount number of galaxy clusters consisting of billions of stars of all sizes.
However, the cluster is among the bright elliptical galaxies in the region, but it lacks the bright disk galaxies of spiral arms structure. Researchers have seen the different types of disk structures of galaxies in the super galactic plane.
Additionally, the dense region of the cluster’s galaxies consists of hotbeds for frequent interactions. It transforms the spiral galaxies into elliptical structures, and as it consumes enough energy, the galaxies turn into super massive black holes.
In contrast, galaxies far from the plane’s centre grow with minimal interference. Because of the distance from the centre, the galaxies maintain the spiral architecture.
The super galactic plane will have a colossal structure consisting of a billion light years across. Our Milky Way galaxy is among the massive galaxy clusters. Thousands of initial galaxies are part of the clusters moving around the black holes. The observation shows that the region is abundant with the bright elliptical galaxies. But they lack the disk galaxies with spiral arms.
The research team have also discovered that the differences between the elliptical and disk galaxies in the Super galactic planes are the outcome of the natural process and environment where these galaxies hatch.
Dense galaxy clusters will be hotbeds of the mergers between the two galaxies. The merger transforms the spiral galaxies into the elliptical galaxy structure. It also gives birth to the super massive black holes.
The team working on the research performed the simulation of the clusters using supercomputers. It had shown the effect where the meticulously tracked data used to see how the universe has evolved into the 13.8 billion years.
The simulation was unique because a general cosmological examination of the random universe doesn’t show the expected outcome. The SIBELIUS is specially designed to replicate observed structures accurately. It is producing the super galactic plane.
The simulation accurately presents the alignment of the galaxies and space objects shown in the astronomical absorption. Therefore, the scientist can accurately predict the path and conclude why the different structures are seen in the galaxies in the clusters.
The study’s co-author, Professor Carlos Frenk, offered his opinion on the findings. He stated that the distribution of the galaxies is unusual. Do not label it as an anomaly. The research demonstrated that the presence of dark matter in the region could account for the most extraordinary cosmic structure.
The research used the COSMA 8 supercomputer at Durham University and the CSC Mahti supercomputer in Finland.
The study sheds light on many questions about the galaxy’s structures that have been answered in books in the books. Also, the new data will reinforce the current cosmological model. Further information will provide a more profound understanding of the universe. More research on the subject will help us to understand our place in the Milky Way within the super massive clusters.
The astronomy team from the university may discover more about the galaxies and their structure in the future because data is still flowing. More information will be present as more simulations are performed, which may change our beliefs about galaxies.
Conclusion
Space is filled with mysteries. As we progress in getting more research data, we may understand why certain things act in the galaxies and how they are formed. We must keep discovering the Milky Way galaxy’s structure to know why we exist. Also, the study of our galaxies will tell us more about the alien civilization and their formation in the other galaxies.
