WASHINGTON, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- An international team of astronomers charted the most detailed three-dimensional map of the Milky Way, revealing that the galaxy is not flat but has an S-shaped, warped stellar disc. The study published on Thursday online in the journal Science showed that the...
The Shape of the Milky Way - The EvidenceThere are two methods traditionally used to map the spiral structure of our Galaxy. The first method is to study the density of the neutral hydrogen (HI) in the plane of the Galaxy which is enhanced in the spiral arms. This was first attempted ...
The first large-scale age-map of the Milky Way shows that a period of star formation lasting around 4 billion years created the complex structure at the heart of our galaxy. The results will be presented by Marina Rejkuba at the European Week of Astronomy and Space Science (EWASS) in Liv...

Astronomers have created the most correct map yet of the Milky Way—the part of space that contains our sun, solar system and more than 100 billion stars. Researchers made the threedimensional map by measuring the distance from the sun to thousands of big, brightly shining stars. They ...
