CHICAGO (CBS) — A team of scientists from Northwestern University made an out-of-this-world discovery in space.
The one-dimensional cosmic threads are hundreds of horizontal or radial filaments - which are slender, elongated bodies of luminous gas that have potentially been around for millions of years, dating back to when outflow from Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, interacted with surrounding materials, according to a study published Friday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
