"Now, with new data from eROSITA, researchers suggest a possible single cause for all these bubbles: incredibly powerful jets from Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, which blasted outward about 2.6 million years ago."

2.6 million years ago is a very young age here. I note too that more than 8,000 molecular clouds documented claiming star formation, these are all very young too, perhaps all < 30 Myr. Looks like plenty of intense activity in the MW in the geologic recent past. Catastrophism all over it seems

Question - How do stars form?

Where can we see the birth of stars? M87 vortex goes for about 100,000 light years. Along the length of the vortex we see millions of stars. Through out our galaxy and other galaxies we see clusters of stars and some clusters having a million stars. Why are their billion or so stars in the...
