Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Mo te wā tuatahi i roto i te tekau tau, kua kitea e nga tohunga whetū he whetū iti e huri ana i te Milky Way - e iwa katoa. He tawhiti mai i te 95,000 ki te 1.2 miriona tau-marama te tawhiti, ā, he iti ake ngā whetū o ia whetū i to tatou aorangi. He mea nui, ahakoa, ka taea e ngā aorangi kikokore te āwhina ki te whakamātautau i ngā ariā o te mea pouri, ā, tērā pea ka whakatata atu ki te kimi i ngā matūriki uaua. Whakawhitihia te nekeneke i raro nei kia kite ai koe i te ahua o te rangi tonga i mua me muri i te tapiritanga o nga tupuni hou. Kua kitea e ngā tohunga whetū e iwa ngā aorangi kōaro hou e huri ana i te Milky Way. Ko rātau te tuatahi i kitea e karapoti ana i tō tātou aorangi i roto i te tekau tau neke atu. E whakaatu ana tēnei pikitia i ngā Kapua Magellanic i mōhiotia i mua me ngā whetū iti e ono o ngā whetū iti e iwa i kitea i runga ake i te Paranal Observatory i Chile. I kitea tēnei e tētahi rōpū kaitōrangapū i te Whare Wānanga o Cambridge mā te whakamahi i ngā raraunga mai i te Dark Energy Survey, he kaupapa e rima tau ki te whakaahua i te rangi tonga i roto i te tino taipitopito. I kitea ngā aorangi kōaro e iwa i te rangi pō i te haurua tonga, e tata ana ki te Kapua Magellanic Nui me te Iti, koia nei ngā aorangi kōaro nui rawa atu i roto i te ara o te Milky Way. Kua kitea e nga tohunga whetu he mowhiti kē o nga whetu tawhiti pea he wāhanga o to tatou tupuni, e 50 ōrau te nui ake i te 150,000 tau-marama te whanui. I takea tēnei i runga i te arotakenga anō o tētahi mowhiti tawhiti e karapoti ana i tō tātou aorangi, e whakaaro ana ngā tohunga whetū ināianei he wāhanga o reira, ā, tērā pea i whakararurarutia e ētahi atu aorangi kākano. I ako te rōpū pūtaiao mai i Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute i New York i te Monoceros Ring, he aho rite ki te mowhiti roa o nga whetu e "whakaputa" ana i to tatou tupuni whetu e toru nga wa. "Ko te kitenga o te maha o ngā amiorangi i roto i te wāhi iti o te rangi i tino ohorere", ka mea a Dr Sergey Koposov o Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy, te kaituhi matua o te ako. <unk>Kāore au i whakapono ki ōku kanohi.<unk> Ko ngā ahanoa hou i kitea, he piriona ngā wā e pōuri ake ana i te Milky Way, ā, he miriona ngā wā e iti ake ana...
Kua kitea e ngā kaitātai whetū o te Whare Wānanga o Cambridge e iwa ngā aorangi kākano hou e huri ana i te Milky Way. Ko rātau te tuatahi i kitea e karapoti ana i te Milky Way i roto i te tekau tau mai i te tekau tau i kitea i te tau 2005 me te 2006. E iwa katoa, mai i te 95,000 ki te 1.2 miriona tau-marama te tawhiti. He piriona ngā wā e pōuri ake ana, he miriona ngā wā e iti ake ana te taumaha i te Milky Way, ā, he iti rawa ngā whetū i roto. Engari e whakaarohia ana ko te 99% o te mea pouri - ka awhina i te whakapumautanga o nga ariā mo tona noho i te ao nui.
