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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

The galaxy is estimated to have formed 100-400 million years before its evolutionary stage that was observed by Webb, the most capable space telescope ever deployed. "The Milky Way began forming ...

It’s beautiful but also a reminder of the ultimate fate that awaits our own Milky Way galaxy. The image was captured using the NOIRLabs’ International Gemini Observatory. NOIRLabs says that ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a baby, Milky Way-like galaxy that formed more than 13 billion years ago. This "Firefly Sparkle" galaxy could reveal how our own galaxy evolved.
