Astronomers may have discovered an extragalactic structure hiding behind the bulge in the Milky Way, and they believe there could be more.
Scientists have discovered something mysterious in space. According to a new study shared on a preprint website, scientists have discovered an extragalactic structure inside an area of space known as the “zone of avoidance.” The structure isn’t a space station or anything of the sort, instead, it’s believed to be a galactic cluster, similar to others we have discovered beyond our solar system.
But what makes this extragalactic structure so interesting? Well, aside from it being a structure that we barely know anything about, the fact that it was discovered inside of the “zone of avoidance” is a great starting point. This zone is especially mysterious because much of it is hidden and obscured by our own galaxy’s opaque bulge.that resides within it. The bulge is packed with stars, gas, and dust, which blocks our view of the zone of avoidance, which resides behind it.
