Additionally, the vertical filaments measure up to 150 light-years high, surpassing the size of horizontal filaments, which measure only 5 to 10 light-years in length. While there are several hundred ...

Behold, the stringy, rainbowesque melange of one-dimensional structures hidden in plain sight across the galactic center. Or should we say plane sight? The tendrils measure 5 to 150 light-years in ...

New radio telescope images reveal hundreds of filaments along the galactic plane, each measuring 5 to 10 light-years in length These structures likely originated a few million years ago when outflow ...
