(NaturalNews) Researchers may have found the first indirect evidence of dark matter. A mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way's center is the key signal....
New research finds dark matter in the Milky Way is unevenly distributed, supporting its role as a possible source of the galaxy's central gamma ray excess.
Astronomers have discovered a surprisingly "pristine" red giant with the lowest concentration of heavy elements ever seen in a star. It is likely a direct descendant of one of the universe's first stars.
The Milky Way ripples like a vast cosmic wave. Gaia’s precise measurements reveal a colossal motion sweeping through the galaxy’s disc, an echo of something mysterious in our galaxy’s ancient past. The Milky Way is anything but static. It…
We know lots about our Galaxy yet still, some regions still hold countless secrets. Recently, a team of astronomers using South Africa's MeerKAT radio telescope uncovered 164 of them, compact radio rings. Each one smaller than an arcminute…
Precise measurements of stars’ motions show that a wave is propagating outward from our galaxy’s center — perhaps from a long-ago collision with another galaxy.
A team of researchers has discovered a great wave in our Milky Way galaxy. The discovery was made using observations from ESA’s Gaia space telescope. The discovery is helping our understanding of how stars in the Milky Way move.
Scientists using the European Space Agency's Gaia telescope have discovered a vast stellar wave rippling across the Milky Way's disc, extending tens of thousands of light-years from the Sun. The finding adds to Gaia's record of uncovering…
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS does not come from our corner of the Milky Way, and may be a time capsule of the early galaxy, new research into its trajectory hints.
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.
