An international team of astronomers has discovered a massive cloud of gas and dust located in a little-known region of our ...

Our planet sits along one of the galaxy’s spiral arms, about halfway from the center, according to NASA. The Milky Way sits in a cosmic neighborhood called the Local Group that includes more ...

Milky Way may be visible on July Fourth weekend across the U.S.: How to see our galaxy The center of our home galaxy, the Milky Way is composed of billions of stars that are expected to be bright ...

In this combination of images from NASA/ESA shows three future scenarios for Milky Way & Andromeda encounter. Top left: Galaxies bypass at 1 million light-year separation.

Astronomers now believe the Milky Way’s “inevitable” collision with a neighboring galaxy is much less likely than originally thought.

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.

Milky Way galaxy might not collide with Andromeda after all Astronomers ran 100,000 computer simulations using combined Hubble/Gaia space telescope data.

Our planet itself is located along one of the galaxy’s spiral arms, about halfway from the center, according to NASA. The Milky Way sits in a cosmic neighborhood called the Local Group that ...

For this new study, the scientists relied on updated galaxy measurements to factor in the gravitational pull on the Milky Way's movement through the universe.

New data show a 50% chance the Milky Way won't collide with Andromeda. A merger with the Large Magellanic Cloud is far more likely.
