Apparently this data is changing the way astronomers understand the distant past of our galaxy:

The new observations are the most detailed of their kind, looking closely at the foundational bulge at the very heart of the Milky Way. Looking specifically at the white dwarf star remnants gives us valuable information about the galaxy’s distant past.

Carefully studying the data, the team was able to pick out the white dwarfs, selecting 70 of the hottest examples for in-depth analysis. The stellar remnants are only about the size of the Earth, but are are a staggering 200,000 times denser. As they’re so small, they’re also pretty dim, making them challenging to observe.

We’re always looking forward to more pics from The Hubble Space Telescope.  Congratulations to the team!
