Mysterious 'Morse Code' in Milky Way's Center

The Milky Way galaxy is a spiral galaxy that is approximately 14 billion years old. It is filled with stars, nebulae (clouds of dust and gas), planets, asteroids, and more. These objects fan out from the center of the galaxy in long spiraling arms. The Milky Way is about 100,000 light years across, and it takes our sun and the solar system 250 million years to make one revolution around the center of the galaxy.
