The best 3D map yet of the center of the Milky Way galaxy has revealed a tasty surprise: the heart of our galaxy looks like a cosmic peanut. Two international teams of astronomers discovered the nut-shaped nature of the Milky Way's core, which is known as the galactic bulge and packed ...
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...
This wealth of data is expected to fuel further research for years, offering unprecedented access to the inner workings of our galaxy through the ESO Science Portal. Tags: Astronomy, detailed Milky Way map, groundbreaking celestial map, hidden parts of galaxy, infrared-sensitive cam, Milky Way ...
The pull of gravity from the center is much less on the stars and gas clouds at the outer edge of the galaxy, which gives the Milky Way an S-like curved appearance. The breakthrough is the result of a new method which is able to map the distance of the Cepheid stars from our sun....
New survey of the Milky Way unveils 3.3 billion celestial objects Stunning images released by the National Science Foundation show the most expansive slice of the galaxy to date produced by a single camera. Jan 19, 2023 New map allows you to explore the cosmos to the edge of the univers...
The telescope, located in Chile, is used to map large portions of the sky. Thanks to its infrared camera,VIRCAM, which can see through the Milky Way's dust and gas, astronomers can see into hidden areas. “We made so many discoveries, we have changed the view of our Galaxy forever,”...
Harvard University scientists reported Tuesday that this massive structure has been hiding out in the Milky Way galaxy's spiral arm closest to Earth. The researchers were building a 3-D map of our galaxy's interstellar matter, using a star census gathered by Europe's Gaia spacecraft when they...
Astronomers have created a 3D map of our entire galaxy, pinpointing stars called Cepheids which pulsate and can be used to track distance and changes in space. When put into a map, the data showed how the Milky Way is warped. The disk of the Milky Way is
