New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...
How can a galaxy display perfectly defined spiral arms when the Universe had only a little over 10% of its current age? This ...
New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal galactic rule—it's just one of many possible evolutionary paths. By recreating ...
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has been used to discover REBELS-25, a Milky Way-like galaxy from the ...
Astronomers recently discovered a never-before-seen celestial phenomenon hiding in our own cosmic backyard. The mystery object, located just a short 15,000 light-years from Earth in our Milky Way ...
This image provided by NASA shows X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (represented in blue) that have been combined with infrared data from NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope (cyan, light ...
Astronomers have located a rare exoplanet on the edge of the Milky Way. The exoplanet, a gas giant named AT2021uey b, orbits a low-mass star and is located about 3,200 light-years away from Earth, ...
The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...
Scientists have discovered two gargantuan radio bubbles at the center of the Milky Way, near the galaxy's supermassive black holes. These never-before-seen structures are believed to have formed ...
Yale astronomers have caught the Milky Way having a snack.Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, researchers have discovered a band, or stream, of stars believed to be the remnant of an ancient star ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Astronomers have discovered a strange new object in our Milky Way galaxy. An international team reported Wednesday that this celestial object — perhaps a star, pair of ...
