9-Billion-Pixel Photo of Milky Way’s Center Is Full of Stars

Also, it has been discovered that those legions of stars in the center of the Milkyway orbit around a super massive black hole which is the core of the galaxy. At first they wondered why the stars in that part of the galaxy seems to orbit at fantastic speeds around a circular emptiness. Theoretically, no other cosmic object has gravity so strong to fling stars into orbit except for a black hole, and a super massive one.

It can also be attributed to Dark Matter. Which has something to do with parallel universes. A universe parallel to ours yet we can't sense it (at least with our five human senses) but can observe its gravitational effect on the rotation of stars and other galaxies.

But no one actually knows what dark matter is.

out of curiosity i been asking this to myself if NASA or the Hubble telescope is able to take star pictures billion light years away why can't NASA take a quality pictures in the martian soil without sending a rover?

Bitaw noh? Suwayi daw na ask didto sa NASA Bro kung unsa ilang tubag...

Simply because you can't take samples from the martian soil with the hubble space telescope. Just imagine yourself if geologist ka, unsaon nimu pag investigate sa soil or sa rock kung picture ra ang naa sa imung kamut?

choiya!!! hehe.

Way i see it, it's a matter of DOF. Imagine taking photos of a subject half a meter away using a f/2.8 300mm lens without macro functions.. You simply just can't focus in.

I do not think it is dark matter. We still have vague understanding of what dark matter actually is. And a lot of hypotheses are up that explain it: One says that our universe might be like a sheet of paper. On top of us, hovering above is another parallel universe. Light travels only within this universe so we cannot see that parallel universe. That is they say dark matter. We cannot see it, but it has mass and it can indirectly bend light; whereas another says that dark matter maybe a higher octave of the strings that composes matter. The atoms that compose our bodies and ordinary matter could only be a lower octave of these strings and that dark matter can be produced by a higher octave of such strings. These strings are like rubber bands that vibrate and produce sound (this could only be a metaphorical analogy). Some may even suspect that dark matter maybe actually some kind of neutrinos or perhaps a Higgs Boson.

We still do not know. But as far as my knowledge goes, dark matter is not the core of the Milky Way.
