In the vast expanse of the universe, the Milky Way Galaxy holds a special place in our hearts. It is our home, and after studying it for decades from our cosmic residence nestled within one of its ...

Stargazers may catch a cosmic light show this Fourth of July weekend when the Milky Way appears in the night sky across the ...

Astronomers have found a new way of accurately mapping the outer gas disk of the Milky Way using the positions of young stars ...

Arizona is an ideal spot to see the Milky Way thanks to its numerous dark-sky places. Here's the best time to see - and ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the ...

The ΛCDM model assumes that on scales larger than a few hundred million light-years, the universe is smooth and uniform. That makes a huge void like the KBC a serious challenge.

Based on the number of quenched satellites in these Milky Way-mass systems, this model predicts quenched galaxies should also exist in more isolated environments ...

The computer model also makes use of new mass estimates for other galaxies within the Local Group—a galactic group that hosts the Milky Way and Andromeda, among others.

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 ).
