Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny ...

Astronomers have completed the most comprehensive census of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to date, providing the clearest ...

A new low-frequency radio image offers the most comprehensive view yet of the Milky Way’s southern sky. Astronomers at the International Center of (ICRAR) have produced the most detailed low-frequency ...

Using deep imaging from the James Webb Space Telescope, they observed a galaxy bearing a striking resemblance to our ...

Understanding how the Milky Way formed means looking far beyond the bright spiral you see in the night sky. A new study led by Dr. Vivian Tan, who completed her doctorate at York University under the ...

The Milky Way was once a textbook example of how a spiral galaxy should form and evolve. Now a wave of new observations and simulations is forcing astronomers to admit that many of those origin ...

What can the gamma ray light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy teach scientists about the existence of dark matter? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review Letters hopes to address as a ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass halo in a Lambda-cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmological simulation. This is the highest resolution simulation of a MW-mass dark matter halo ever ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Simulations that have previously tried to ...
