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. This ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. A festive portrait of our Milky Way ...

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 ...

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 ...

The system is known as D9. Its discovery, announced in a new paper published today in Nature Communications, sheds light on the extreme environment at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy. It also helps ...

Scientists have found the beginnings of a young universe that may offer insights into the beginnings of our own Milky Way Galaxy. Geoff Bennett and Miles O'Brien discussed why scientists are ...

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

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 ...

It proved the Andromeda Nebula is immensely distant from Earth, demonstrating that the Milky Way is not the whole universe, ...
