In their study published Thursday in the journal Science, they showed that by measuring the distance between classical Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy, they could develop a three-dimensional ...

By reconstructing stellar orbits using real Milky Way stars with accurately determined parameters, the team quantified the Galaxy’s mass-weighted chemical abundances and age structure.

Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

But around the cosmic time that we are seeing the Firefly Sparkle, Milky Way-like galaxy progenitors were about 10,000 times less massive than today’s Milky Way. Hopefully with the collaboration ...
