Wait it’s all sand?
Always has been 🌎🧑🚀🔫🧑🚀
Can someone explain to a layman what that less dense (appears darker) area is about? Just a random section of fewer stars or something else?
Gas cloud
It’s not gas that’s making it dark, its dust, small particles made out of some combination of iron, silicates, carbonaceous materials, and other elements.
Metal cloud
🤘
Neat, thanks
Funny how stars and the CMB both look like static on a screen.
Looks like the bottom of my bowl after eating cinnamon toast crunch.
It’s wild that clouds in space just look like… Clouds.
And yet it’s as large as a solar system or more.
hi mom
If that’s pointing at the center of the galaxy, where’s the supermassive black hole?
We’re near the end of one of the arms of the milky way. There’s trillions of stars in between us and the center of the galaxy.
The only real way we’d get an actual image of the center of the milky way is if we somehow maintained connection to a telescope that was billions of light-years away.
I bet if we blur it a bit and do an image search with it, we’d get pictures of a drink sitting on a beach and it’s shadow.
Use it as seed for generative aí
