Instead of a relatively distant dark galaxy, Westmeier thinks the object is more likely a regular gas cloud at the edge of the Milky Way. “I’m very skeptical about the claims that they’re ...

Sagittarius C is one of the most extreme environments in the Milky Way Galaxy. This cloudy region of space sits about 200 light-years from the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

"What makes Zhúlóng stand out is just how much it resembles the Milky Way—both in shape, size and stellar mass." The galaxy spans more than 60,000 light-years across and contains over 100 ...
