Scientists Find Mysterious Cosmic Filaments At The Heart Of Milky Way Galaxy

/

For decades, astrophysicists have been studying the Milky Way to understand its nature. One of these astrophysicists is Farhad Yusef-Zadeh. But unlike most astrophysicists, Yusef-Zadeh focused on studying the strange filament-like structures at the heart of our home galaxy since 1984. Astrophysicists discovered that these huge cosmic filaments originate from the Sagittarius A*, a supermassive
