Newly Discovered Region of The Milky Way Is Filled With Stars Ready to Blow Up

Astrophysicists have found a new region of the Milky Way, and it s filled with searingly hot, bright-blue stars that are about to explode.
The researchers were creating the most detailed map yet of the star-flecked spiral arms of our galactic neighborhood with the European Space Agency s (ESA) Gaia telescope when they discovered the region, which they have named the Cepheus spur, they reported in a new study.
Nestled between the Orion Arm – where our solar system is – and the constellation Perseus, the spur is a belt between two spiral arms filled with enormous stars three times the size of the sun and colored blue by their blistering heat.
A team of researchers from the Spanish Astrobiology Center (CAB) has presented the most accurate map of the Milky Way to date, and described the existence of the âCepheus spur,â a formation of blue stars hotter than the sun that had remained hidden until now.
The team put together the map of the Earthâs âsolar neighborhoodâ using the Gaia telescope of the European Space Agency, detailing the spiral arms of the stars that make up our galaxy. These include Orion, where the Solar System is located; Perseus, located at the outer edge of the galaxy, and Sagittarius, towards the center of the Milky Way.
