The Galaxy - Science and discovery

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. An international team of scientists have advanced that they have been able to explain the presence of galactic geysers with the help of the Australian Parkes telescope. Indeed, astronomers using CSIRO s 210-feet Parkes radio telescope in eastern Australia have found monstrous outflows of charged particles coming from the center of our galaxy. Besides, scientists have detected that the galactic geysers are responsible for the shooting particles across the sky with a million times the energy of a supernova explosion. The researchers said that the outflows contain an extraordinary amount of energy, reaching about a million times the energy of an exploding star. Fair enough, it is scientifically explained that although the outflows are shooting out at over 600 miles per second, they pose no danger to Earth or the solar system since the planet Earth is 30, 000 light-years away from the Galactic centre...
