eday+FollowDid Egyptians Paint the Milky Way?Ancient Egyptians may have been the OG stargazers! New research found that starry artwork on coffins and tombs actually links the sky goddess Nut to the Milky Way. Some paintings even show a wavy, dark band across Nut’s body—like the Great Rift in our galaxy. Turns out, Nut wasn’t just about the stars and sun, but the whole cosmic package. Astronomers and Egyptologists are both geeking out over this celestial connection! #AncientEgypt #MilkyWay #HistoryNerd #Archaeology #SpaceArt #Science262Share
megangibson+FollowOur Galaxy’s Black Hole Is Staring Us DownDid you know the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, is spinning at top speed—and its axis is basically pointed right at us? Scientists used machine learning to dig deep into telescope data and found this cosmic monster is not only super fast but also facing Earth almost head-on. No worries, it’s not about to eat us, but it’s wild to think our galaxy’s heart is looking right at us! #Science #MilkyWay #BlackHole171Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowMilky Way’s ‘Ghost’ Satellite Isn’t What We Thought!Turns out, that super-faint Milky Way satellite, Ursa Major III, isn’t a dark-matter-packed mini galaxy after all. New research says it’s actually a star cluster held together by a bunch of black holes and neutron stars—basically, a cosmic ghost town with a wild invisible core. Astronomers used simulations and star data to crack the case, finally solving a big space mystery. Who knew our galaxy had such spooky secrets? #Science #MilkyWay #SpaceMystery460Share
Michelle York+FollowMilky Way’s Secret Gas Cloud Revealed!Astronomers just found a gigantic, hidden cloud of gas and dust—200 light-years wide—lurking in the Milky Way! This “Midpoint Cloud” could be feeding our galaxy’s center and even sparking new stars. It’s like discovering a cosmic river moving material right into the heart of the galaxy. Plus, there are signs of past supernovas and future star births. Space is way wilder than we thought! #Science #MilkyWay #SpaceDiscovery50Share
Tamara Jones+FollowIce Cubes in a Galactic Volcano?!Imagine finding ice cubes inside a volcano—that’s basically what astronomers just did! They spotted 11 super-cold hydrogen clouds chilling in the Fermi Bubbles, those massive, million-degree gas lobes blasting out from the Milky Way’s center. These clouds are 100x cooler than their surroundings and shouldn’t even exist there, which totally messes with what we thought we knew about how galaxies recycle matter. Space is wild, y’all! #Science #SpaceMystery #MilkyWay80Share
James Brady+FollowMilky Way’s ‘Ice Cubes’ Defy ScienceGet this: scientists just found massive clouds of cold gas—think cosmic ice cubes—chilling inside the superhot Fermi bubbles at our galaxy’s center. These clouds shouldn’t even exist in that extreme heat, but they’re hanging on, hinting that our galaxy’s black hole had a wild outburst way more recently than anyone thought. Basically, the Milky Way’s core is way more dramatic than we realized. Space is full of surprises! #Science #SpaceMystery #MilkyWay430Share

megangibson+FollowOur Black Hole Is Basically a Cosmic Spin MasterTurns out the giant black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning almost as fast as physics says it can—like, cosmic Beyblade levels of fast. Scientists used AI and millions of black hole simulations to figure this out, and get this: its spin axis is pointed right at us! Plus, the magnetic field around it is acting super weird, totally not what theories predicted. Space is wild, y’all. Can’t wait to see what new telescopes reveal next! #BlackHole #SpaceNews #MilkyWay #Science120Share

Melvin Mosley+FollowSpace Just Dropped a Perfect Mystery BallA giant, perfectly round sphere called Teleios is floating in the Milky Way—and scientists are stumped. It only shows up in radio waves (no light, no X-rays, nada) and could be the remains of a star explosion or something totally new. Its symmetry is wild, and nobody knows how it got so smooth. Is it a cosmic bubble, a supernova remnant, or something else? Space just got a lot weirder! #SpaceMystery #Teleios #MilkyWay #Science216Share
