It is one of several species of Aspidistra that can be grown successfully outdoors in shade in temperate climates, where they will generally cope with temperatures down to −5 °C (23 °F), being killed by frosts of −5 to −10 ...

But at 25,000 light-years away, the highly energetic and variable activity of the Milky Way’s central black hole isn’t a concern, Morris said. However, the Webb telescope observations allow ...
The Milky Way [c] is the galaxy that includes the Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars in other arms of the galaxy, which are so far away that they cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
The nature of the Milky Way's bar, which extends across the Galactic Center, is also actively debated, with estimates for its half-length and orientation spanning between 1–5 kpc (short or a long bar) and 10–50°. [23] [25] [27] Certain authors advocate that the Milky Way features two distinct bars, one nestled within the other. [28]
William Herschel's model of the Milky Way, 1785. Herschel also studied the structure of the Milky Way and was the first to propose a model of the galaxy based on observation and measurement. [93] He concluded that it was in the shape of a disk, but incorrectly assumed that the Sun was in the centre of the disk.
