The Milky Way is not the calm, flat starry disk many of us learned about in school. Astronomers are now tracking a colossal, ...

Astronomers have identified a remarkable population of distant quasars whose radio jets balloon to scales that make our own ...

Simulating a billion years using previous best-resolution simulations would take almost 36 years of real computing time. The most detailed supercomputer simulation ever of our Milky Way galaxy has ...

"The discovery of this stream highlights how much is still unknown about the life histories of galaxies, how the hidden universe shapes the realms that we can see." Despite still not being fully ...

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...

For the first time, scientists have built a digital version of the Milky Way that follows the motion of individual stars, not blurry clumps. The project combines artificial intelligence with leading ...

An international team of researchers has performed a mind-bending simulation of the Milky Way. For the first time, the team successfully performed a simulation of over 100 billion individual stars, ...

Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was ...

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, ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) on Saturday called for “a new way forward” after President Trump withdrew his endorsement amid the once-close duo’s growing rift. Greene thanked those who showed ...

The center of our Milky Way galaxy is anything but calm. A supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), about four million times the mass of the Sun, calls this crowded region home. We ...
