Hubble survey hints Milky Way’s core formed later than previously believed
TL;DR Summary
A new Hubble study of the Milky Way’s crowded galactic bulge suggests its stars may be younger than the traditional 10-billion-year figure, potentially revising the timeline of the galaxy’s growth. The survey will catalog 20–30 million objects in the bulge to map dust obscuration and star ages, complementing upcoming Roman Space Telescope observations that will monitor lensing events and stellar motions across millions of objects.
