🌌 Dark matter and star clusters reshape galactic cores

A galaxy simulation shows nuclear star clusters and stellar disks grow together as a stellar bar funnels gas to the galactic center. This process occurred in a Milky Way-mass galaxy over four billion years. The stellar bar acts like a conveyor belt, driving gas inward to feed both structures simultaneously. While they share a common origin, their relative sizes drift apart over time, making the connection hard to spot. A merger with a massive star cluster around 2.1 billion years abruptly altered the star cluster’s structure. 🌌

Federal prosecutions for sex trafficking have seen a 22% drop this year, despite the Trump administration prioritizing the fight against it.
