An international team of astrophysicists has discovered hidden filaments at the center of the Milky Way (25,000 light years from Earth) They are very different from the only filaments that were known until now and that were discovered in 1984. The first filaments, found by Farhad Yusef-Zadeh of Northwestern University, were gigantic and one-dimensional and hung vertically near Sagittarius A*.
The new filaments are horizontal, much shorter and located radially, like the spokes of a wheel.
