The Milky Way is the galaxy that contains our Solar System.[1][2][3][nb 1] This name derives from its appearance as a dim "milky" glowing band arching across the night sky, in which the naked eye cannot distinguish individual stars. The term "Milky Way" is a translation of the Clas...
Milky Way Galaxy (sometimes simply called the Galaxy), astronomers do not have as complete an understanding of its nature as they do of some external star systems. A thick layer ofinterstellar dustobscures much of the Galaxy from scrutiny by opticaltelescopes, and astronomers can determine its ...

has released a captivating interactive map of the Milky Way using Planck's data. It combines multiple views of our galaxy, including mapping dust, carbon monoxide gas, magnetic fields and a type of radiation known as "free-free." This kind of radiation happens when "isolated electrons...
The interactive map combines numerous views of the Milky Way, which include dust, magnetic fields, a type of radiation called "free-free" and also carbon monoxide gas. "Planck can see the old light from our universe's birth, gas and dust in our own galaxy...
Mapping our Milky Way galaxy is a mind-bending challenge; from the inside looking out, astronomers have to spot the galaxy's stars all jammed together and cloaked in dust. But a new view of our galactic home is helping refine that map by charting more than 400 clusters where new stars ar...
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...
