Rivers of stars



Souce


Several astronomers from different countries have joined forces to explain a strange finding, they have found a group of young stars rotating in a spiral, they have defined it as a river, a river that goes towards the center of a massive cluster of stars called NGC 346.


This cluster is located a small Magellanic cloud, a satellite dwarf galaxy of ours the 'milky way', is about 200 thousand light years, the cluster is only 150 light years in diameter, in the distance between the sun between us and the closest star is 4.2 light years away.

In those 150 light years in diameter there are 50 thousand suns or a mass equivalent to 50 thousand suns, the spiral shape has drawn the attention of scientists and they have used the power of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the European Space Agency and the very large telescope of the European Southern Observatory to unravel the behavior of this "mysterious-looking stellar nest", according to them, they have defined it that way.


It seems that the secret of all this activity and this spiral, is that it turns out to be the best natural way to feed star formation from the outside to the center of the cluster, according to scientists it is the most efficient way in which stars and gas feed the formation of stars and they can move like in a river, but in a river of stars something fabulous, especially to think that the sun was born in a nursery of stars similar to this one.

The origin of the sun could be with its sister stars much closer than we were now to Proxima Centauri, for example, it is believed that even at that time material could be shared, material I am referring to asteroids and comets, they were exchanged because the stars much closer, later they separated, in fact there are some researchers who dedicate themselves to looking for sister stars of the sun, stars that were born in the same in the same cradle of the sun and who look for them because they have a composition equal to that which exists in the solar system and of course if they have a composition equal to that of the solar system they may have planets similar to the earth and if they may have planets similar to the earth life may have arisen on them.
