<br />More than 600 light-years wide, the image shows dense clouds of gas and dust that are swirling around each other. It allowed scientists to spot nine new areas where the nebula's clouds are collapsing and where new stars could one day emerge. <br /><br />"This is the most detailed view of the nebula we have ever had. It's the first time we can see some of its youngest, massive stars, and start to truly understand how it evolved into the iconic nebula we see today," said USRA's Jim De Buizer<br /><br /><div type="Youtube" id="sgEkCZ-1CNA" title="SOFIA Reveals New View of Milky Way’s Center" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/sgEkCZ-1CNA/mqdefault.jpg"></div>
<strong><br />The birth of new stars<br /></strong>The Swan Nebula is more than 5,000 lightyears from Earth in the constellation, Sagittarius — and it's right next to the <keyword id="2104882" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="20" keywordseo="supermassive-black-hole">supermassive black hole</keyword> at the centre of the Milky Way.<br /><br />More than a 100 of the massive young stars in our galaxy lie at its core — each multiple times the size of the Sun. But the youngest of them are hidden in clouds of gas. This makes them difficult to spot even with space telescopes. The collective light being given off is so bright that the resulting images look overexposed.<br /><br /><div type="image" title="sofia1_edited" msid="73150887" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The most detailed image of the Swan Nebula at the center of the Milky Way galaxy taken by the world’s largest airborne telescope - the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA)&amp;lt;span class=&amp;quot;redactor-invisible-space&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

<br />SOFIA's Faint Object Infrared Camera (FORCAST) allowed the telescope to peer through the cocoons of dust and gas to see new young generations of stars living within. <br /><br />Scientists don't know exactly how stars are born. So far, they've been able to ascertain that protostars are the earlier known phase in stellar evolution. This is when a newborn star is so young that it's still feeding off the molecular cloud that surrounds it. <br /><br />These protostars have been found in nine new areas where the nebula is collapsing.<br /><br /><strong>The secrets of the Swan Nebula<br /></strong><br />The image also shows that Swan Nebula didn't always have a swan-like shape. The age of stars across the celestial body vary. The centre of the nebula — seen as blue gas heating the core in the image — is the oldest. It was likely formed first. <br /><br />The southern region of the Swan Nebula is the youngest. This is where most of the protostars have been spotted.<br /><br />The northern area formed sometime in between the two other regions. The radiation and stellar winds from previous generations of stars that have died are scattered there. They prevent the next generation of stars from forming.<br /><br />The red areas near the edges of the nebula are cold dust, first detected by the Herschel Space Telescope.<br /><br /><strong>The Milky Way's supermassive black hole<br /></strong><br />Black holes are at the centre of most galaxies and the Milky Way is no different. Its black hole can be seen near the bottom with waves of fiery-looking gas surrounding it. <br /><br />However, the Milky Way's black hole is relatively quieter than most other black holes discovered, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). <br /><br />An image taken by SOPHIA last year revealed that the supermassive black hole is surrounded by an ‘invisible' magnetic field — a possible reason for the prevention of activity. <br /><br /><div type="image" title="sofia2_edited" msid="73151011" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The ‘invisible’ magnetic field over the Milky Way&amp;#39;s supermassive black hole&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>
<br />SOFIA is a Boeing 747SP jetliner carrying a 106-inch diameter telescope. The telescope itself is equipped with cameras, spectrometers and polarimeters. Unlike space-based telescopes, like Hubble, SOFIA gets to land after each flight. This gives scientists the opportunity to continuously monitor and upgrade its instruments.<br /><br /><strong>See also:<br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/supermassive-black-hole-bigger-than-7-billion-suns-is-spinning-so-fast-that-its-close-to-breaking-the-laws-of-physics/articleshow/73137059.cms">Supermassive black hole bigger than 7 billion Suns is spinning so fast that it's close to breaking the laws of physics</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/nasas-planet-hunter-uncovers-its-first-world-with-two-stars-1300-light-years-away/articleshow/73133158.cms">NASA's planet-hunter uncovers its first world with two stars 1,300 light-years away</a><br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/science/space/news/scientists-predict-a-star-thats-slowly-been-getting-brighter-over-the-past-decades-will-explode-in-2083/articleshow/73138295.cms?src=hp_latest">A star that's slowly been getting brighter over the past decades will explode in 2083</a></strong><br />

He's one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's creepiest and most unsettling creations. </p><p>His complex relationship with Rocket, who he created, drives the story's emotional theme about respecting and loving yourself for who you are and finding purpose in the world.</p><h2><strong>The sequel could've been done without Warlock and Gamora </strong></h2><p><strong></strong></p><div type="image" title="Adam Warlock GotG" height="600" width="1200" msid="99854623" hostid="261"></div><p>Flying in like a bat out of hell, Warlock is a big, beautiful, and strong Grade-A dum-dum. (Think Johnny Bravo.)</p><p>Though he adds levity to the threequel's darker tones, his addition wasn't necessary and was clearly added for potential future Marvel outings. </p><p>"Vol. 2" set Warlock up to be the sequel's main villain. So it's weird that's not really what happens here. Instead, the Sovereign's revenge takes a backseat in preference to the High Evolutionary.</p><div type="image" title="Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Gamora" height="4000" width="6000" msid="99854625" hostid="261"></div><p>Gamora's (Zoe Saldaña) presence also adds little to this movie and, if anything, becomes a slight annoyance. </p><p>Despite exploring the complexities of moving forward after a loss and imposing undesired expectations on a person who simply can't fulfill them, this Gamora's too unrecognizable and mean-spirited from the one fans have come to love. </p><p>While she adds some elements of humor to the film, it's clear Gamora didn't need to be here. Her character doesn't even want to be here. She reminds us nearly every time she's on-screen how she wants to leave the Guardians.</p><p>It makes sense now why Gunn <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/guardians-of-the-galaxy-chris-pratt-cast-saved-james-gunn-1235401687/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">almost killed her off in "Vol. 2."</a> Marvel would've made a bigger statement if Gamora stayed dead after the events of "Avengers: Infinity War." </p><h2><strong>3 adorable new sidekicks </strong>are immediate standouts </h2><p><strong></strong></p><div type="image" title="Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Lylla" height="1716" width="4096" msid="99854626" hostid="261"></div><p>A telekinetic space pup, Cosmo (Maria Bakalova), first introduced briefly in the first film, joins the Guardians' family as its newest member, vying desperately to be viewed as a very good dog.</p><p>Rocket's otter friend Lylla, voiced by <a href="https://wwcbm.fandom.com/wiki/Laura_Barton_(MCU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marvel alum</a> Linda Cardellini, is a scene stealer who viewers don't spend enough time with.</p><p>And lastly, a cuddly alien pet, who Gunn revealed to be named <a href="https://twitter.com/JamesGunn/status/1624947504914763777?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1624947504914763777%7Ctwgr%5Ec36423e9cec975afab19749937ff2bd4b0fef790%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.yahoo.com%2Flifestyle%2Fjames-gunn-names-guardians-galaxy-232651424.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blurp on Twitter,</a> is undeniably adorable and the creature's unexpected bond with one character helps solidify the pair as one to watch in the MCU's future. </p><h2><strong>'Vol. 3' is</strong><strong> not a perfect conclusion, but it is a satisfying enough ending to the group's nearly decade-long journey </strong></h2><div type="image" title="Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 Rocket Raccoon" height="1716" width="4096" msid="99854627" hostid="261"></div><p>Filmed for IMAX, often taking advantage of the full screen, Gunn delivers in every action sequence. An extended hallway battle during the third act is the sequel's best use of the format. </p><p>Despite impressive visuals, Gunn's recent penchant to insert his wife, Jennifer Holland, in recent projects (she's also recently appeared in "The Suicide Squad" and "Peacemaker") becomes slightly distracting here in one otherwise-very-fun sequence where the Guardians get caught up in a high-stakes mission that goes awry. </p><p>But the most frustrating thing about "Vol. 3" is how much it feels like a cookie-cutter Disney flick by its end, neatly delivering a satisfying conclusion for each of its characters without raising any real stakes.</p><p>Many will leave theaters satisfied enough, but Marvel's recent need to set up potential spin-offs and sequels in each outing continues to jeopardize a good film from becoming great, something that's shown in the performance of its past few movies, including "<a href="https://www.insider.com/black-panther-wakanda-forever-review-2022-11">Black Panther: Wakanda Forever</a>" and "<a href="https://www.insider.com/doctor-strange-in-the-multiverse-of-madness-review">Multiverse of Madness</a>."</p><p>As <a href="https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a42057586/james-gunn-marvel-future-guardians-of-the-galaxy-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gunn's Marvel swan song</a>, it seemed at times that he was deliberately trying to see what he could get away with inserting into "GotG: Vol. 3"</p><p>A few lines of dialogue feel written by a child: <a href="https://youtu.be/5O20vCokY3s?t=44" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In a released clip</a>, a character says they'll name themselves Floor because they're lying on a floor; In another uninspired line, Drax resorts to an unnecessary and unfunny poop joke that adds little to the scene.</p><p>The studio also let Gunn drop the <a href="https://gizmodo.com/guardians-of-the-galaxy-vol-3-mcu-fuck-james-gunn-1850368333" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first F-bomb in a Marvel project</a>, despite <a href="https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/kevin-feige-james-gunn-f-bomb-guardians-galaxy-vol-3/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trying to warn him against it</a>.</p><div type="image" title="Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3" height="4000" width="6000" msid="99854629" hostid="261"></div><p>There's no denying Gunn deserves a bit of free reign with his last "Guardians" movie. Back in 2014, critics believed it could be the first <a href="https://gizmodo.com/why-guardians-of-the-galaxy-could-be-marvels-first-fl-1516575377" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MCU flop</a>. Instead, Gunn took one of Marvel's most obscure comics and turned a talking tree who spoke three words ("I am Groot") into a household name. </p><p>No other Marvel franchise has directly tied music so intricately to its plot that it becomes invaluable to the story. Nearly every needle drop works because Gunn <a href="https://screenrant.com/guardians-galaxy-3-soundtrack-every-song/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hand-selected which songs to include</a>. </p><p>It shouldn't be a surprise then that the ending leaves things open for another possible "Guardians" outing. But, let's be real. Whoever may take over the "Guardians" franchise has enormous shoes to fill if Gunn's no longer attached. </p><p><em>"Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3" is in theaters on May 5. Stick around after the movie ends for two post-credits scenes.</em></p><h2><strong>Grade: B+</strong></h2>
