Three newly-discovered streams arcing high over the Milky Way Galaxy

Three newly-discovered streams arcing high over the Milky Way Galaxy are remnants of cannibalized galaxies and star clusters. The streams are between 13, 000 and 130, 000 light-years distant from Earth and extend over much of the northern sky. Two of the newly discovered streams are almost certainly the remains of ancient star clusters. Known to astronomers as globular clusters, these giant stellar cities contain between tens of thousands and millions of stars. The third stream is spread over a much larger region of the sky, and is most likely the scattered remains of a dwarf galaxy. Such dwarf galaxies may contain up to 100 million stars, along with sometimes substantial amounts of mysterious dark matter

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases three newly-discovered streams gracefully arcing high above the majestic Milky Way Galaxy. These ethereal streams, located between 13,000 and 130,000 light-years away from Earth, serve as remnants of cannibalized galaxies and star clusters. Spanning across a significant portion of the northern sky, they offer a mesmerizing spectacle for astronomers and stargazers alike. Among these celestial trails, two are undoubtedly the vestiges of ancient star clusters known as globular clusters. These colossal stellar cities house an astonishing number of stars ranging from tens of thousands to millions. The third stream sprawls across a much larger expanse in the sky and is believed to be the scattered remains of a dwarf galaxy. Dwarf galaxies possess immense potential with up to 100 million stars alongside enigmatic dark matter. The image captures not only the grandeur but also hints at cosmic evolution within our universe. Its vertical composition emphasizes both the halo-like structure surrounding globular clusters and their spiral motion through space. This color illustration offers us a glimpse into this awe-inspiring galactic phenomenon viewed from outer space. With no human presence in sight, this photograph invites contemplation on our place in the vastness of space while highlighting key elements such as arc, cosmology, particle physics, and stellar evolution that contribute to our understanding of astrophysics today.
