A team of scientists from the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Institute of Cosmos Sciences of the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have applied advanced machine learning techniques to process data for 217 million…
Scientists from the SAGA Survey have studied 101 Milky Way-mass galaxies, revealing that our galaxy may have fewer satellite galaxies than expected. The survey highlights star formation suppression in these satellite systems and offers a…
A group of scientists led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) and the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) have used a novel machine learning model to process data for 217 million stars…
Galaxies as orderly as the Milky Way weren't supposed to exist more than 10 billion years ago. Now astronomers have found one in the first billion years of the universe.
For the past 10 years, Australia's ARC Center of Excellence in All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D) has been investigating star formation, chemical enrichment, migration, and mergers in the Milky Way with the Anglo-Australian…
Rebel Galaxy Astronomers have made a "baffling" discovery while peering into some of the furthest reaches of our universe: the most distant rotating disc galaxy ever observed that closely resembles our own. The structure dubbed REBELS-25…
If you want to pinpoint your place in the universe, start with your cosmic address. You live on Earth->Solar System->Milky Way Galaxy->Local Cluster->Virgo Cluster->Virgo Supercluster->Laniakea. Thanks to new deep sky surveys, astronomers…
REBELS-25, a galaxy resembling the Milky Way found in the early universe, defies traditional models with its orderly structure, indicating rapid galactic evolution. Astronomers have discovered the most distant Milky-Way-like galaxy ever…
New research suggests that the Milky Way’s central supermassive black hole formed from a merger with another black hole around 9 billion years ago. This finding uses data from the Event Horizon Telescope and helps explain the black hole’s…
If you want to pinpoint your place in the Universe, start with your cosmic address. You live on Earth->Solar System->Milky Way Galaxy->Local Cluster->Virgo Cluster->Virgo Supercluster->Laniakea. Thanks to new deep sky surveys, astronomers…
For the past ten years, Australia’s ARC Centre of Excellence in All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D) has been investigating star formation, chemical enrichment, migration, and mergers in the Milky Way with the Anglo-Australian…
Astronomers using the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) VISTA telescope have created and published a massive infrared map of the Milky Way galaxy containing more than 1.5 billion objects, the most detailed map of its kind ever.
