What does the Milky Way look like? Sometimes, the billions of stars comprising our home galaxy appear especially vibrant during “Milky Way season” as the band arcs across the night sky. The reason has ...

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 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 ...

Researchers have long thought that the Milky Way would collide with the Andromeda galaxy in four to five billion years. This scientific illustration depicts Earth's horizon four billion years in the ...

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 ...

NASA’s Roman Space Telescope will map the Milky Way using infrared observations, studying star formation, stellar evolution, star clusters, and hidden galactic structures over a two-year survey.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Understanding the Earth’s journey through the Milky Way is tricky, but a new study used neutral hydrogen and zircon crystals to dig up details of ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess ...

NASA is preparing to turn the center of our own galaxy into a precision test bed, using the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope ...
