Astronomers used RR Lyrae stars to trace the early Milky Way, revealing a rapid formation of its halo and disk, with chemical patterns similar to Andromeda.

A striking new image of our Milky Way's center, captured by the European Southern Observatory's ALMA, spans more than 650 ...

Imagine trying to reconstruct the history of a city by studying only its oldest surviving buildings. You can't watch it being built, you can't interview the architects, all you have are the structures ...

Scientists mapped 650 light-years of the Milky Way’s core to examine star formation in one of the galaxy’s most extreme environments.

A new photo taken by the world's most powerful telescope shows a 6-quadrillion-kilometre span of our galaxy.

A recent study led by Dilda Berdikhan, a Ph.D. student from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has uncovered compelling evidence that a cloud–cloud ...

What can the gamma ray light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy teach scientists about the existence of dark matter? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review Letters hopes to address as a ...

Astronomers have unveiled an intriguing discovery: the largest image ever produced by the ALMA telescope, providing a groundbreaking look at the Central Molecular Zone referred to as the heart ...

A maelstrom of star formation close to the center of our galaxy has been revealed in two different wavelengths by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), its beautiful images highlighting the intensity ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...
