Stories about: Milky Way  

The image, obtained with the help of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, comprises over 100 million stars

The gas that comprises these bubbles is moving at 2 million miles per hour (3 million kilometers per hour)

Actually, the galaxy has been our neighbor for quite a while, it's just that we were utterly oblivious to its existence

The odd celestial body, known to the scientific community as G2, is said to be a massive star cloaked in gas and dust

The galaxy, located at a distance of 12.5 billion light-years from our planet, is described as a cosmic powerhouse

These previously undocumented planets will be discovered with the help of ESA's Gaia satellite, researchers explain

Having come together, the cosmic marionettes formed a humongous star that is now cloaked in gas and dust

Astronomers find small galaxies in the proximity of the Milky Way are all out of star-forming hydrogen gas

The image was taken with the help of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, is stunning to say the least

Let yourself go and travel our amazing galaxy

Monster galaxies are not very interested in birthing new stars, grow by sucking in smaller galaxies in their proximity

Scientists say M60-UCD1 is the smallest galaxy thus far documented to accommodate for such a massive black hole

The newly discovered supercluster of galaxies is now referred to as “Laniakea”

And by “closer to Earth” I mean “a measly 4 light-years away from our home planet”

The two star formation regions look positively stunning in this ESO image

This galaxy is located at a distance of about 3 million light-years from our planet

The stars sit 775,000 and 900,000 light-years away from our planet, respectively
