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 ...

But we can't put the Milky Way on a scale. Another difficulty with massing our galaxy is that there are two types of mass. There is the mass of dark matter that makes up most of the Milky Way's ...

And it looks a lot like our galaxy, the Milky Way. "The extraordinary images—taken with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope—show a galaxy that glitters with 10 distinct star clusters that ...
