Astronomers have discovered the “wrong” cluster of stars

Scientists have suggested that young luminaries receive “nourishment” from the old stars.

Scientists need to revise existing concepts of the evolution of stars.

It is reported in its report, the panel of astrophysicists, which conducted the study of the Large Magellanic Cloud.

The researchers found in one of the areas of this galaxy “wrong” cluster of stars. It is a conglomeration of stars that are significantly different from each other in age. This fact contradicts the known models of star formation.

According to modern concepts of astrophysics, all the stars in the cluster should be about the same age, because, goes the theory, they originated from the same substances and at the same time.

Scientists have suggested that young luminaries receive “nourishment” from the old stars. Latest shape itself around the dust cloud, which serves as the ideal “maternity home” for the emerging luminaries. Like it or not, is difficult to prove. Until mankind has the technology to show details of the galaxy “as it is”.
