A New Understanding of the Milky Way’s Gas Distribution The newly created map shows that the gas in the outer regions of the Milky Way does not follow the smooth, orderly structure previously ...

The study employed a technique the researchers call 'pattern matching', using Cepheid variable stars to effectively anchor the distances of the gas on the outer edges of the galaxy's spiral arms for ...

A new map of the Milky Way covers our galaxy’s densest regions of star formation, giving us an unprecedented look at the distribution of cold, dense gas from which stars are born.

Astronomers have published an infrared map of the Milky Way that is considered the most detailed one of its kind. Researchers used the European Southern Observatory’s VISTA telescope in Chile.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered evidence of a giant planet orbiting a star in the solar system closest to ...

The gas within the Midpoint cloud exists in a turbulent state ... been caused by the explosive supernova deaths of massive stars. —Record-breaking Milky Way map showcases 1.5 billion objects: 'We have ...

With even more data, Cook and her team hope to create a 3D map of the Milky Way halo. “Each FRB gives us a measurement of the Milky Way halo in one direction, so as we continue to collect them, we can ...

In this full-sky map presented in Galactic coordinates, the background shows the brightness of 21-cm line emission tracing both warm and cold components of neutral hydrogen gas from the Milky Way ...
