Astronomers say they have traced a mysterious pulsing in the Milky Way to a surprising source: a dead star locked in a dance ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

New research from a team at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics suggests that the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy neighboring the Milky Way, hosts a gravitational structure hundreds of ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...

This makes 21 cm radiation an incredibly useful tool for mapping the structure of the Milky Way. This radiation reveals everything from star-forming gas clouds to the shapes of the galaxy's spiral ...

A team of Japanese researchers has harnessed the power of AI to uncover hidden structures in our galaxy. Using deep learning models trained on space telescope data, they identified bubble-like ...

The Big Wheel, discovered using the James Webb Space Telescope, formed just 2 billion years after the big bang - surprisingly ...

Astronomers have had a rare glimpse into the heart of the Milky Way thanks to an errant star expelled from the galactic centre. At the middle of our galaxy is a supermassive black hole ...

A mysterious, one-off flash of energy from an unknown object outside the Milky Way has left astronomers puzzled ... observing the remnants of a bygone star in the LMC, according to the statement.

Toward the end of the 18th century, astronomer William Herschel used star counts to map out the Milky Way. He cataloged a thousand new nebulae and clusters of stars. He believed that the nebulae ...

The key settings for capturing the Milky Way include a wide-open aperture of f/2.8 or lower to allow maximum light, a shutter speed of 20 to 25 seconds to capture enough detail without star ...
