The Tilted Disk — This odd structure is made up of ionized hydrogen gas, or gas with enough energy to separate its electrons from atoms or molecules, evident through the red glow of light.

The reason why astronomers are baffled by the Tilted Disk is the amount of ionized hydrogen gas requires an ongoing source of energy to keep the electrons separated, and they have not identified the source of energy.

The study found that 48 percent of hydrogen in the center of the Milky Way has been ionized by an unknown source.

In order to identify the source of energy, the astronomers looked at the Tilted Disk through one of the empty patches of dust and gas at the center of the Milky Way.
