    Scientists just found the Milky Way’s edge and it’s closer than expected

    Scientists discovered the Milky Way's edge using stellar 'age mapping,' revealing a U-shaped pattern where star formation declines sharply at 35,000–40,000 light-years from the center. Beyond this boundary, stars are primarily migrant stars drifting outward, not forming in place.
