Milky Way: 'Population burden' on the galaxy too! More stars are being created than anticipated, know the whole case

A study led by scientists at the University of Würzburg in Germany has said that the rate of star formation in the Milky Way is higher than previously estimated.

Stars are formed every year in our milky way. But a new study has shocked the scientific community. A study led by scientists at the University of Würzburg in Germany has said that the rate of star formation in the Milky Way is higher than previously estimated. That is, more stars are being born every year than scientists have been thinking. This study has also rejected the thinking that the formation of stars is a static process.

Published in Astronomy and Astronomy, this study is present on the preprint server arXiv. Our associate website has quoted the US space agency NASA as saying that stars are born by the mixing of gases inside dust clouds. These clouds are scattered in most galaxies. The most well-known example of this is the Orion Nebula. According to NASA, lumps are formed due to turbulence inside the clouds and gas and dust start forming stars together.

According to the information, it starts with a protostar. It is the hot core of the collapsing cloud, which one day becomes a star. According to Science Alert, it is so far believed that the Milky Way, that is, our galaxy, produces stars every year from about two sun's material equivalent. Because these stars are much smaller than the Sun, it is expected that every year about 6 or 7 stars are born in our galaxy.

But a recent study says that stars with the same mass as the Sun are evolving 4 to 8 times each year. Because their size is small, according to that our galaxy should produce 10 to 20 stars every year. While this is also a guess, it has rejected previous theories.
