Stories about: Milky Way  

The star is one of a kind in our Milky Way, astronomers say

The halo, which scientists say is basically the galaxy's atmosphere, extends halfway to our Milky Way

Investigation finds that, following a collision between two or more clusters, dead galaxies are revived

The newly discovered celestial body is one of the most distant planets thus far documented by astronomers

Interestingly, this might explain why it ended up being orbited by 8 planets and why life emerged on Earth

The Large Magellanic Cloud sits at a distance of merely 163,000 light-years from us, is a satellite of the Milky Way

The star that left behind the Sagittarius A East supernova remnant exploded roughly 10,000 years ago, astronomers say

Astronomers say evidence indicates our cosmic neighborhood is at least 50% larger than previously estimated

Of the newly documented dwarf galaxies, the closest is located at a distance of about 95,000 light-years from us

Astronomers use telescopes to study the shape of strong winds originating from supermassive black holes

The astronomers behind this project managed to map the distribution and motion of the molecules inside these clouds

This new and positively gorgeous map shows the distribution of gas, charged particles, and dust across our cosmic home

Astronomers say evidence indicates that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, holds dark matter in its innermost region

Astronomers believe a newly discovered cluster of stars is proof that a dark matter-dominated galaxy is hiding nearby

Even cooler, scientists say each and every of these Earth-like planets in our home galaxy might be life-friendly

When it comes to science, saying that one thing or another is just a theory does not make it speculative or unproven

If this were true, the wormhole would be navigable and we could easily travel through it, researchers further explain
