The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed details of the largest and most active star-forming region in the Milky Way, Sagittarius B2. This observation is providing scientists with valuable information that could help them understand…
Our Milky Way galaxy never sits still: it rotates and wobbles. And now, data from ESA's Gaia space telescope reveal that our galaxy also has a giant wave rippling outwards from its centre.
The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered dazzling newborn stars and thick cosmic dust in Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way's most enormous star-forming cloud.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a colorful array of massive stars and glowing cosmic dust in the Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud, the most massive and active star-forming region in our Milky Way galaxy.
Scientists have produced the most detailed three-dimensional map yet of stellar nurseries within our galaxy, using data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission. The new model reveals how massive young stars interact with interstellar…
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) latest images reveal a colorful array of stars in the relatively nearby Sagittarius B2 molecular cloud, the most active and massive star-forming region in the Milky Way galaxy.
The Cullinan Cosmos' headliner has an "ethereal interpretation" of the Milky Way, freehand painted by a single artist over the course of more than 160 hours.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope recently imaged an extremely large and symmetric protostellar jet at the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. From tip to tip, this protostellar jet is 8 light-years across, about double the distance from…
The moon is near new phase this week, and clearer skies and cooler overnight temperatures means that this is also an optimum week to check out the beautiful summer Milky Way.
Get latest articles and stories on India at LatestLY. Astronomers have mapped in details the invisible layers of cosmic dust that veils our Milky Way and reddens the light of the stars. This may help trace the locations where next…
For the latest NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week, we are treated to details of the very active star-cluster-filled center of the Messier 82 galaxy. Researchers could use this image to understand how massive star clusters…
