New infrared map of the Milky Way changes how we see our galaxy ⭐️HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW⭐️ Astronomers have published an infrared map of the Milky Way that is considered the most ...

While the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for stargazers to catch a glimpse of the band of billions of stars comprising our galaxy.

The new data confirms that the solar system is accelerating in its orbit around the Milky Way. Over the course of a year, our sun accelerates toward the Milky Way's center by 7 millimeters a second.

The generated maps show that the galactic underworld of the Milky Way is much more “puffed up” than what our home galaxy looks like normally, as the kinetic energy of supernovae expel these ...

While 1.8 billion stars is an impressive number, it is only about about one per cent of all the stars in the galaxy, so there is still a long way to go before we get a complete picture of our city ...

The Milky Way was on a collision course with a neighboring galaxy. Not anymore - NASA scientists had forecast an impending crash in four billion years, sending the sun flying ...

A galaxy remarkably similar in shape to our own Milky Way, yet significantly bigger and dating back to the universe's infancy, has been observed by astronomers. This cosmic relic, dubbed J0107a ...

In fact, it's about 50/50. "Our main finding is that the merger between the Milky Way and Andromeda, which had been predicted to occur in around 4.5 billion years, is actually much less certain.

More than a decade ago, scientists predicted our Milky Way galaxy and neighboring Andromeda would collide in four billion years, resulting in a “makeover” of our solar system.
