The more we study it, the universe continues to become curiouser and curiouser, and the last few weeks have been no exception: X marks the center of the galaxy; one of Saturn's rings was broken; and NASA plans to destroy Juno space probe -- to protect aliens?
Astronomers at the Max Planck Institute and the University of Toronto have verified the existence of an extremely large X-shaped arrangement of stars at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, a structure that was hinted at by previous observations of other galaxies and computer models. From Earth's point of view, the galaxy's central bulge of millions of stars looks like a peanut shape, with the X-structure being an integral part of this.
