Radcliffe wave (original) (raw)
The Radcliffe wave is the nearest coherent gaseous structure in the Milky Way, dotted with a related high concentration of interconnected stellar nurseries. It stretches about 8,800 light years. It runs with the trajectory of the Milky Way arms, and lies at its closest (the Taurus Molecular Cloud) at around 400 light-years and at its farthest about 5000 light-years (the Cygnus X star complex) from the Sun, always within the Local Arm (Orion Arm) itself, spanning about 40% of its length and on average 20% of its width. Its discovery was announced in January 2020 and its proximity surprised astronomers.

| dbo:abstract | La onda de Radcliffe es la estructura gaseosa coherente más cercana de la Vía Láctea, salpicada de una alta concentración relacionada de viveros estelares interconectados. Se extiende unos 8.800 años luz. Sigue la trayectoria de los brazos de la Vía Láctea, y se encuentra en su punto más cercano (la ) a unos 400 años luz y en su punto más lejano a unos 5.000 años luz (el complejo estelar de Cygnus X) del Sol, siempre dentro del propio Brazo Local (Brazo de Orión), abarcando alrededor del 40% de su longitud y una media del 20% de su anchura. Su descubrimiento se anunció en enero de 2020 y su proximidad sorprendió a los astrónomos.
