Detected radio Bursts of light sources of our galaxy

Astronomers, including members of the team NASA" s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., found the first availability of radio bursts, we know that they come from galaxies outside our own Milky Way. Bursts of light sources are unknown, but they are similar to those which happen during catastrophic events, or the like - a merger or an explosion of stars, and the like - triggers.

Our galaxy has greater than before its diameter is ten times

The astronomers, led by John Stoke by the University of Colorado at Boulder (USA), reported that the new observations spectrograph Space Telescope "Hubble" forced them to rethink the size of the halo of spiral galaxies such as our Milky Way. So - and significantly change our estimates of their mass.

This entire glowing disc, which we used to call the Milky Way, represents only the tip of the iceberg, nine-tenths of which are lost in the darkness.
