The Milky Way looks serene from our vantage point, a hazy river of light arcing across the night sky. Yet the stars that make up that glow are quietly telling a more dramatic story, one in which our ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

The Milky Way galaxy, comprised of billions of stars, will be visible in the night sky until the end of May, particularly between the last quarter moon (May 20) and the new moon (May 30). Light ...

New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. While the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for ...

Star chemistry reveals two spiral arms and a faint bridge in the Milky Way, offering a clearer view of hidden structure in ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, ...

Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was ...

The Milky Way's satellite galaxies are less typical than previously thought. Most Milky Way-like galaxies have star-forming satellite galaxies, unlike our own. The Milky Way's unique satellite galaxy ...
