What is a star stream?

Stellar Stream is created when the stars out of one galaxy pull out of their home galaxy. The stellar current is a long thin fiber of stars produced by the stretching effect of tidal forces. Only about a dozen star streams were appointed or studied in detail. As a phenomenon that occurs only on a galactic scale, most of the star currents are too weak and far away to study very thoroughly. Stream Arcturus is the rest of the dwarf galaxy, which has long been absorbed by the Milky Way. During her life, the Milky Way probably consumed dozens or even hundreds of smaller dwarf galaxies and continues to do so today. We even observe the star clusters that seem to be the remains of the core of the absorbed galaxies such as the Omega Centauri Star Cluster. We know that these are former galactic cores and not conventio -open clusters, as open clusters are made up of stars that are formed at about the same time while the galactic core contains the stars of the very changingage.

One of the best -studied star streams is Magellanic Stream, a star bridge connecting two of the closest galaxies with a milk track, a small Magellan cloud and a large Magellan cloud. Because Magellan clouds are among the closest galaxies of our own, in just 150,000 light -years away, we can observe individual stars in the "clouds" and their parallaxs, which will let us create a 3D map of galaxies and their interventing star stream.

as well as planets, such as Saturn, cause dust to form into the rings around them, some galaxies to tear others and create them in the rings. One stellar stream in the form of a ring is a monoceros ring, created when the Milky Way swallows the dwarf galaxy, a major canistpaslík galaxy, about 100 times less than that.
