A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble.
Years ago, astronomers started working on a comprehensive map of the Milky Way by observing it from the European Southern Observatory, an intergovernmental research organization located in Chile.
A probabilistic new map of the universe surrounding the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy is ... telescope reveals 1st section of largest-ever 3D map of the universe — and there's still 99% ...
"The new model approach provides extensive maps of the Milky Way's overall chemical composition, corroborating the distribution of young and old stars. The data shows the concentration of metal ...
This study uses the SAGA Survey results to improve existing theoretical models of galaxy formation. Based on the number of quenched satellites in these Milky Way-mass systems, this model predicts ...
The image shows the supermassive black hole that lies at the heart of our galaxy about 26,000 light-years away.

The James Webb Space Telescope has possibly identified brown dwarfs beyond the Milky Way for the first time, offering new insights into how stars formed in the early universe. Located in the star ...
Researchers from Japan’s National Astronomical Observatory (NAOJ) are throwing shade at the now iconic image of the ...
Researchers have discovered a distant disc galaxy that has surprisingly similar characteristics to our own Milky Way, and it could ... “If they’re common, then models will have to be tweaked.” ...
The Milky Way galaxy has had a violent history. It did not grow though simple and calm accretion, but rather through the aggressive mergers of multiple smaller galaxies. Recently, a team of ...
