Astronomers Report a Huge “Invisible Structure” In The Milky Way

first the “milky way oddities” now this?

The headline correctly and it surprised us too.  This has been an insanely busy year for astronomy.

First two scientists from Caltech darn near proved that there is another unseen planet at the edge of the solar system.  Now, a different group of astronomers sas they’ve spotted some unusual objects in our very own galaxy:

Astronomers think they may have found giant “invisible” structures lurking in the Milky Way. These things seem to be pretty big – roughly the size of Earth’s orbit around the Sun – and they could help to explain where a bunch of missing matter in the universe is, known as the missing baryon problem.

We have to remember just because something can or can’t be seen by a telescope doesn’t mean it is not effecting things.  For example the dark matter that may be in the universe that astronomers have calculated using gravitational methods.

Let’s find out more about what these objects could be on page 2

    The Universe is dotted with these strange invisible structures – clumps of cool dense gases and cool down plasma – from the Outflow of a dead Black Hole – captured by turbulence – and lingered on long after its demised – billion of years ago.

    I think science saw how religious people could make up anything and everyone would believe it.
    Now science just pulls things out of their butts and people just blindly believe it.
    Then science is like, “I can’t believe they believed that!”
