The article focuses on Evan Levine and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, who created the map of the outer part of the Milky Way's spiral arms. They used radio telescope measurements of the amount of at...
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...

Gaia, a space telescope launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) in late 2013, will release its first map of the Milky Way on 14 September. The catalogue will show the 3D positions of 2,057,050 stars and other objects, and how those positions have changed over the past two decades....
Additionally, we introduce tools for 3D extinction correction of objects within the Milky Way. Furthermore, we present a review of dust structure studies based on the Galactic 3D extinction map. The distribution of dust in the Milky Way is generally considered to be disk-shaped, akin to the ...
Redrawing the galactic map Advertisement Astronomers are shocked that the feature has been overlooked until now. “I was absolutely flabbergasted, it was quite clearly seen in some of the previous surveys but it was never pointed out or given a name,” says Tom Dame at the Harvard-Smithsonian ...
Mysterious radio waves coming from the heart of the Milky Way "We've never seen anything like it," one astronomer said. Oct 13, 2021 Astronomers find origins of "galactic cannibalism" in dark matter halo "One galaxy may have eaten one of its slightly smaller, more primitive neighbors, that...
ESA’s Milky Way-mapper Gaia has completed the sky-scanning phase of its mission, racking up more than three trillion observations of about two billion stars and other objects over the last decade to revolutionise our view of our home galaxy and cosmic neighbourhood. The ESA has announced that...
The Milky Way is seen because the Sun lies close to the central plane of the galactic disk. Because this region of the Galaxy is highly flattened, a much greater depth of stars is visible in directions along the plane (i.e. toward the Milky Way) than in other directions. The Milky ...
