It took 15 years for Danish, Swiss and Swedish researchers to build the historical record. After more than 1,000 nights of observations, they determined the movements of more than 14,000 stars ...

A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Sukanya Chakrabarti, in collaboration with Dr. Peter Craig, has introduced a more precise map of the outer gas disk of the Milky Way.

This image provided by the European Space Agency ESA, is Gaia's all-sky view of our Milky Way Galaxy and neighbouring galaxies, based on measurements of nearly 1.7 billion stars.

There are nearly 2 billion stars in our galaxy. At least that's what the most current map shows. Astronomers have mapped the most extensive atlas of our Milky Way galaxy yet, including the ...

The characteristic spiral arms of the Milky Way also disappear in the galactic underworld version of our galaxy, since supernovae “kick” star remnants in random directions, creating a blurring ...

Using this catalog, they have successfully constructed a 3D map of dust distribution and properties across the Milky Way, reaching distances of up to 16,308 light-years away.

There are 21 known hypervelocity stars at the outskirts of the Milky Way. Using the phenomenally high-precision Gaia measurements, the astronomers behind the new research examined the stars’ 3D ...
