The Milky Way
Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds
The Milky Way is a gargantuan graveyard. Stars are born, burn out and die, but they don't just vanish, and the galaxy is haunted by their corpses. Stars in the Milky Way that died billions of years ago went supernova and morphed into two types of objects. With their outer layers blasted away by the force of the explosion, the cores that were left formed black holes.
