Aug. 27, 2021 —Using a supercomputer simulation, a research team has succeeded in following the development of a galaxy over a span of 13.8 billion years. The study shows how, due to interstellar frontal ...
May 24, 2021 —The first detailed cross-section of a galaxy broadly similar to the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy evolved gradually, instead of being the result of a violent mash-up. The finding throws the ...
Aug. 25, 2020 —New light has been shed on a mysterious and long-standing conundrum at the very heart of our galaxy. The new work offers a potential solution to the so-called 'Galactic bar paradox', ...
Nov. 23, 2020 —The long-held belief that the Milky Way, the galaxy containing Earth and the solar system, is relatively static has been ruptured by fresh cosmic insight. The spiral-shaped disc of stars and planets ...
Feb. 22, 2022 —In its early days, the Milky Way was like a giant smoothie, as if galaxies consisting of billions of stars, and an enormous amount of gas had been thrown together into a gigantic blender. But a new ...
May 20, 2021 —Analyzing data obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), researchers found a galaxy with a spiral morphology by only 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. This is the ...
Aug. 19, 2020 —Researchers have discovered a dense, cold gas that's been shot out from the center of the Milky Way 'like ...
Nov. 23, 2020 —Galaxies formed by the merging of smaller progenitor galaxies. An international team of astrophysicists has succeeded in reconstructing the merger history of our home galaxy, creating a complete ...
Sep. 23, 2022 —Using data from the Gaia space telescope, a team has shown that large parts of the Milky Way's outer disk vibrate. The ripples are caused by a dwarf galaxy, now seen in the constellation ...
Aug. 12, 2020 —Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have revealed an extremely distant and therefore very young galaxy that looks surprisingly like our Milky Way. The galaxy is ...
