This is part of the first 3D map of our home galaxy, the Milky Way. Over 200 thousand objects are included in the map, which was made up of images from a ...

The Milky Way is estimated to have anywhere from 100 billion to 400 billion stars and likely as many planets. At 1.5 billion objects, the map represents only a small slice of the galaxy.

The project's Far-Infrared Polarimetric Large Area CMZ Exploration (FIREPLACE) created an infrared map that spans around 500 light-years across the center of the Milky Way over nine flights. Using ...

Astronomers have made the most detailed infrared map of our galaxy ever made. The huge map has already helped changed our view of the galaxy in unexpected ways, according to its creators. In all ...

Acknowledgement: Ignacio Toledo The wonders of our galaxy are on full display in a new infrared map of the Milky Way, showing a stunning 1.5 billion objects using data collected over 13 years.

Astronomers have published a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects -- the most detailed one ever made. Using the European Southern Observatory's VISTA ...

Within a few second of arriving to the web site, the visitor can begin exploring. The core of the Milky Way guide is a 3D model that provides the context for all of the content in the presentation.

Objects in DESI’s catalog range from nearby stars in our own Milky Way to galaxies billions of light-years away. Because of the time it takes light to travel to Earth, looking out in space is ...

But a new map of the galactic center and its magnetic field offers scientists an unprecedentedly detailed look into the forces that powered our galaxy’s emergence. Researchers around the world ...
