Stray Star : A Cosmic Glow ✨

Something New and Interesting !

STRAY STAR : A Stray star  is a massive one  and does not bound to any galaxies in the Universe , also it does not possess the properties of a Star.

Stray stars are also called as intergalactic stars or rogue stars.

These Rogue Stars  are "homeless". They were thrown out of their home galaxies because of some particular significant events .

Stray Stars are  Scattered in Space. These stars have been stripped from their parent galaxies by gravitational interactions ! 

These Stars looks like a  Glow of light in the Sky ."The CIBER rocket experiment detected this  infrared background glow in the sky" Large number of stars flung out as galaxies.

And This is so common in our universe , Our own Milky Way galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy in about 5 billion years, tossing stars out into space. Though the process is gravitationally chaotic, the stars are far away from each other and will not directly collide.

It is commonly believed that Stray stars may primarily have originated from extremely small galaxies, since it is easier for stars to escape a smaller galaxy's gravitational pull, than that of a large galaxy.

The total light produced by these stray stars is about equal to the background light we get from counting up individual galaxies !

The first Stray stars were discovered in the Virgo cluster of galaxies.

As of 2015, approximately 675 Stray stars have been discovered at the edge of the Milky Way, towards the Andromeda Galaxy.

This Stray stars may explain strange cosmic glow .

A recent image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope of a cluster of galaxies shows the same type of star glow as seen by CIBER only at smaller scales.
