By looking at the shifting of stars in photos from the New Horizons probe, astronomers have calculated its position in the ...

The Milky Way's core will be visible this month and through August. Here's what Tennessee stargazers should know.

The researchers observed the Sculptor Galaxy for over 50 hours with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument ...

While the Triangulum galaxy’s gravitational influence conspired to bring the Milky Way and Andromeda together, the LMC had a repellent effect. And when all four danced together, the odds of an ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. Because it appears as a rotating disc curving out from a dense central region, the Milky Way is ...

But the only way to get to a new prediction about the eventual fate of the Milky Way will be with even better data.” DOI: Nature Astronomy, 2025. 10.1038/s41550-025-02563-1 (About DOIs).

Gaia’s all-sky view of our Milky Way galaxy and neighboring galaxies, based on measurements of nearly 1.7 billion stars in the mission’s first two years of taking data. ESA/Gaia/DPAC ...

The Milky Way, on the other hand, probably hasn't had a run-in with another galaxy for 8 to 10 billion years. Andromeda's collision — and its more massive scale — could explain the galaxy's ...

No spacecraft can travel beyond our galaxy, so we cant take a selfie, but Gaia is giving us the best insight yet of what our home galaxy looks like. Once all of Gaias observations collected over the ...
