Scientists from Japan's RIKEN research centre have created the most detailed simulation of the Milky Way ever made. The incredible galactic map charts more than 100 billion individual stars over the ...

Hypervelocity stars have, since the 1920s, been an important tool that allows astronomers to study the properties of the ...

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, ...

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 ...

A new study shows how Milky Way chemical tracks emerge from shifting star formation and gas supply, reshaping ideas about the ...

Globular clusters are often described as ancient, tightly bound fossils of the early Milky Way. It has been believed that ...

The Milky Way's satellite galaxies are less typical than previously thought. Most Milky Way-like galaxies have star-forming satellite galaxies, unlike our own. The Milky Way's unique satellite galaxy ...

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 ...
