   What did the Milky Way look like in the past?

   • The sun and Earth reside in the disk and the bulge is both full of older stars and home to a supermassive black hole that probably grew along with the galaxy. “For the first time, we have direct images of what the Milky Way looked like in the past,” said study co-leader Pieter G. van Dokkum of Yale University in New Haven, Conn.

   How did the Hubble telescope change the structure of the Milky Way?

   • The Hubble telescope’s superior resolving power, with which it can see extremely fine details, allowed the researchers to study how the structure of the Milky Way changed over time. At the peak of star formation, when the universe was about 4 billion years old, the Milky Way-like galaxies were pumping out about 15 stars a year.

   Why is the Milky Way Blue?

   • Gas is the fuel for star birth and the blue color is an indicator of rapid star formation. They also found the Milky Way probably was a flat disk with a bulge in the middle, both of which grew simultaneously into the majestic spiral seen today.

   How many stars does the Milky Way create a year?

   • By comparison, the Milky Way today is creating only one star a year. “You can see that these galaxies are fluffy and spread out,” said study co-leader Shannon Patel of Leiden University in The Netherlands. “There is no evidence of a bulge without a disk, around which the disk formed later.”
