Astronomers have discovered that one of the darkest regions of the Milky Way Galaxy consists of an unexpectedly large number of frozen carbon monoxide molecules.
Their discovery indicates that there are significant differences in the chemical composition between the central and peripheral regions of the Milky Way Galaxy, according to the press service of the University of Florida.
The press service quoted Adam Ginsburg, assistant professor at the university, as saying: Before we monitored the ocean using the James Webb telescope, no one knew how many ice particles were in the center of the Milky Way. “Our data clearly indicate that in the central regions of the Galaxy there is a lot of ice consisting of frozen carbon monoxide, and its quantities are so large that it must be taken into account when making observations.”
According to what was reported by the “Russia Today” website, scientists made this discovery when studying the images and scientific data obtained by the “James Webb” orbital observatory while it was monitoring one of the darkest areas in the center of the galaxy, which is the molecular cloud G0.253+0.016, which scientists called The name “brick” is because of its color, shape, and the high density of its material.
Astronomers have long been interested in what this cosmic cluster is, because it contains a surprisingly small number of stars, compared to other regions in the center of the Milky Way. They did not have the opportunity to obtain this information until after the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope at the end of 2019, because this telescope could not only “observe” radiation resulting from gas molecules, but also dust and ice particles.
