Astronomers have found the safest place to live in the galaxy after much research. For this, scientists had to investigate the entire galaxy. Surprisingly, the planet on which we humans are living, is in a much safer place. But if you are bored of last year’s corona epidemic and plan to go to another planet, then believe me the center of the galaxy will be the safest place for you.
This study has been done by a team of astronomers from Insubria University, Italy. The head of this team and the astronomer Ricardo Spinelli said that many organisms have died due to the Cosmic Explosion. Space explosions, ie supernovae, bursting of gamma-rays, spreading of high-energy particles and radiation can tear DNA, they can kill life.
It was not easy to find a place safe from these dangers. There are many places in the galaxy which are full of such dangers. Ricardo says that powerful cosmic exploration cannot be ignored. This is a threat to the existence of life. Due to these explosions, the development of life in the Galaxy has been interrupted.

Ricardo and his team discovered the most two things. The most dangerous and safest place. For this, these people explored the 11 billion years old history of the galaxy. Which showed that where we are living in the galaxy right now, it falls in the safest belt. While millions of years ago, at the time of the creation of the galaxy, its safest location was its last extremity.
In order for a planet to become habitable, it is necessary to be in harmony with its star there. That is, the Earth gets enough heat from the sun. No less no more. Apart from this, the planets should stay away from the troubles coming from space. Such as radiation, supernovae, gamma rays drift, high energy particles and solar storms. Earth is safe from all these dangers at the moment. So it can be said that we are living in one of the safest places in the galaxy.
Supernovas, gamma ray bursts, dangerous streams, high-energy particles all flow at the speed of light. If any kind of life comes in front of them, then they destroy it. Not only this, we can also eliminate such planets which have life or they are inanimate planets. That is why scientists think that there must have been life on the rest of the planets in our solar system, but that is due to these reasons.
Ricardo says that life on the planets surrounding the space explosion would have been completely wiped out. 45 million years ago there was a planet named Ordovician, which was called Second Earth. On this, there would have been an explosion of gamma-rays that happened due to mass destruction. Now only the remaining parts of it are found in the galaxy. Earth survived because its distance and the impact of the solar system saved it.
Scientists also made models and maps about deadly radiation. It turned out that initially the inside of the galaxy, which was 33 thousand light years big, was not habitable. Because there were stars here whose radiation was very dangerous. There used to be different types of explosions here. But the outskirts of the galaxy were safe.
Sterilization of our galaxy was happening 600 million years ago. As the Galaxy got older, the explosions began to subside. Today, there is a circle inside the galaxy which is 6500 light years away from its center. Whereas this circle was at a distance of 26 thousand light years 600 million years ago. Even today, the distance between 6500 light years to 26 thousand light years is the safest in terms of living in the galaxy.
Supernovas and other space movements occur at the center of the galaxy. But they are less on the outer edge. If we talk about the future, our galaxy is now creating an environment for life to flourish. Now such incidents are not happening, so that entire planets are destroyed. Or the life settled on them is destroyed.
