Do dwarf galaxies have black holes?
They have identified 13 dwarf galaxies that host very massive black holes. These galaxies, more than 100 times less massive than our own Milky Way, are among the smallest galaxies known to host massive black holes. In roughly half of these galaxies, the black hole is not at the center of the galaxy.
What is behind the Milky Way?
Astronomers have discovered a vast assemblage of galaxies hidden behind our own, in the “zone of avoidance.” The entire conglomeration is behind the Milky Way, in what astronomers quaintly call the zone of avoidance. An international team of astronomers led by Daniel Pomarède of Paris-Saclay University and R.
Why is our universe called the Milky Way?
The Milky Way gets its name from a Greek myth about the goddess Hera who sprayed milk across the sky. In other parts of the world, our galaxy goes by other names. In China it’s called the “Silver River,” and in the Kalahari Desert in Southern Africa, it’s called the “Backbone of Night.”
Why can’t humans see the entire Milky Way?
Since our solar system lies in one of the spiral arms, we live in the flat plane of the Milky Way. Dust and gas are necessary to form stars, and most stars are formed within the spiral arms. Note that we can’t really see the center of the galaxy with our eyes because there is dust in the way!
