HONG KONG: Recent findings of an astronomical study suggest that our Sun wasn’t around when the Milky Way first began producing stars at a rate much higher than what’s now considered normal. The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal, revealed exciting new information about the origins of our mighty star.
Astronomers found that some 10 billion years ago, the Milky Way experienced a frantic period of star birth, which we now refer to as our galaxy’s “baby boom.” During this stage, the Milky Way was forming stars 30 times faster than the rate at which stars are formed today. What’s interesting is, however, that our Sun missed this frenzied activity, as it took shape some 5 billion years later.
