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...
SYDNEY, Feb. 6 (Xinhua) -- An Australian and Chinese collaboration has created the most accurate 3D model so far of the Milky Way, showing the galaxy to be curved rather than a flat disc shape. The team from Macquarie University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences used the locations of 1...
The article discusses a three-dimensional map of the Milky Way's space dust created by a mapping team led by Gregory Green of Harvard University that will help astronomers ascertain the shape of the galaxy's spiral arms, the thickness of its disk, and whether there is a bar across it....

We have collected 2330 Cepheids to establish an intuitive 3D map of the Milky Way's disk. As regards the warp amplitude, the Cepheid disk agrees well with the gas disk for radii up to 15 kpc. However, the mean line of nodes (LON) of the Cepheid disk deviates from the Galactic Center...

After a feverish wait, astronomers around the world have an ocean of new information to explore. On 25 April, the European Space Agency's (ESA) Gaia mission published its first fully 3D map of the Milky Way. The data haul includes the positions of nearly 1.7 billion stars, and the distan...
ESA's (European Space Agency) Gaia spacecraft has created the most accurate and detailed map of the Milky Way galaxy (and beyond) to date.
It turns out that the Milky Way’s disk buckles like a melting Dalí clock. Sometimes it’s hardest to see what’s right in front of your face.
