00:00What if I told you the heart of our Milky Way just got uncovered like never before?
00:05Astronomers have stitched together the largest ALMA mosaic ever.
00:08And what they found is stunning.
00:10Right at our galaxy's core,
00:12a tangled web of cold gas filaments is glowing into view.
00:16This region is wild.
00:17It's packed with dense clouds, swirling dust,
00:20and a supermassive black hole watching over it all.
00:23For the first time,
00:25scientists mapped the entire central molecular zone in incredible detail.
00:30More than 650 light-years of raw star-forming material,
00:33from giant gas structures to tiny clouds around newborn stars.
00:37This new ALMA survey didn't just take pictures.
00:40It cracked open the chemistry of the galactic core,
00:43revealing dozens of molecules,
00:45from simple silicon monoxide,
00:47to complex organics like methanol and even acetone.
00:50These cold gas filaments act like cosmic highways,
00:54feeding matter into clumps where massive stars can ignite.
00:57And here, stars live fast, explode young,
01:01and reshape everything around them.
01:03By studying this extreme region,
01:06astronomers hope to understand how stars formed in the early universe,
01:09and how galaxies grew in chaos.
01:11And the best part?
01:13This is only the beginning.
01:15New upgrades and telescopes will soon reveal our galaxy's core with even sharper clarity.
01:20The heart of the Milky Way has never looked so alive.
