The result is a peek through the dust that often obscures our view of our own galaxy, and a revolutionary three-dimensional map of the Milky Way. "The project was a monumental effort, made ...

“We have changed the view of our galaxy forever,” said ... who led a project to capture the most detailed infrared map ever of the Milky Way galaxy. “We made so many discoveries.” ...

While stellar surveys continue to expand in volume, our view of the Milky Way remains severely obscured, with the vast majority of stars we can study concentrated around the sun. This discrepancy ...

The image is being combined with those from other survey telescopes—such as PanSTARRS 1—to produce a 360º panoramic view of the Milky Way’s disk. “With this new survey, we can map the ...

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

A new view of the Milky Way: Warped and twisted Our galaxy ... The new three dimensional map has been published in the journal Science. The popular picture of the Milky Way as a flat disc is ...

The result is an unprecedented large-scale 3D map of the galaxy. And that map shows that the edges of the Milky way bend slightly, giving it a warped S shape. "Our map shows the Milky Way disk is ...

It looks like a flat stripe because we are viewing it from within its disk; if we were able to get above the Milky Way, it would look like an enormous spiral about 100,000 light years across.
