An international group of scientists has discovered hundreds of close by galaxies that had been hidden by the Milky Way galaxy's dust and the stars. With this discovery, they have been able to gain new insight into a strange astronomical difference around 150 million light years away.

In the latest study published by the Astronomical Journal, the group wrote that a third of the 883 galaxies they have discovered behind our home galaxy and they weren't ever seen before.

As quoted in a press release, study lead author Professor Lister Staveley-Smith, from the University of Western Australia said, "The Milky Way is very beautiful of course and it's very interesting to study our own galaxy but it completely blocks out the view of the more distant galaxies behind it".

According to the scientists their finding could also help explain the Great Attractor, which is called as a part of space that has been apparently pulling ours and hundreds of thousands of other galaxies in its direction with a gravitational force that's tens of thousands of times more strong as compared to that of our own galaxy.

A team of scientists have penned down a latest analysis in the journal Nature Climate Change, examining the long term effects of carbon emission and climate change.

The lead author of the article, Peter Clark, an Oregon State University paleoclimatologist, said that the carbon that has been emitting into the atmosphere presently is going to stay there for thousands of years.

Clark said to VOA Science World that the amount of climate change that will occur due to a rise in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere isn't a short-term question, rather is a long-term one.
