According to a new research by Australians, stars in the Milky Way galaxy move up and down in a mosh pit. The study revealed by the Radial Velocity Experiment survey (RAVE), stars dance in an unexpected manner resulting in the vibrations in the galaxy.

Dr. Fred Watson, Australian Astronomical Observatory, said the movement of the stars appears to be like waves in the hosted flag.

Dr. Mary Williams, Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam in Germany, along with his team of astronomers united the RAVE study with the movement of stars. The astronomers declared the stars orbits the center of the galaxy and are at a distance of 6500 light years from the sun.

Watson said UK Schmidt telescope at Siding Spring was being used by the astronomers performing the RAVE at about six degrees of the sky. They analyzed the detailed spectroscopic observations of the radial velocities of half a million stars.

In order to know the exact distance of the stars, the astronomers focused mainly on the specific stars called as red clump stars. This data was further used by them to draw the three dimensional stellar map of moving stars.

Watson that with the help of map they can able to identify the streaming motion among the stars along with their speed and their direction.
