The Milky Way Galaxy was one of two trillion galaxies believed to exist. The number of stars it contained was variously estimated to be over three billion to over four hundred billion stars. It generated its own magnetic field, which experienced dips and
Here we show that the stars in both halo sequences share identical age distributions, and are older than most of the thick-disk stars. The sharp halo age distribution cutoff at ten billion years ago can be identified with the time of accretion of Gaia-Enceladus to the Milky Way. ...

“Madeira Stars” – Daniel Kordan Madeira Island – Portugal During my last trip to Madeira, I hiked under billions of stars and over an ocean of clouds. It sounds like a fairy tale, but Madeira is a magical island that offers these opportunities. This night, I shot the Milky Way ju...

With the silhouette of my Navajo guide nearby, I shot the foreground as blue hour washed over this ancient land, then watched with joy as the stars coursed through the heavens above. When the Milky Way rose into prominence and settled where I had hoped, I exposed for the sky to complete...
I find that using the same exposure as you’d use for the Milky Way produces too many stars to look good when stacked. It’s better to knock your ISO down 2 or 3 stops. This also means that star trails look good with a little bit of moonlight as that also reduces the number of ...

"These results show that galaxies like the Milky Way do not evolve in a steady state," Dr. Fox summarized. "Instead they accrete and lose gas episodically. It's a boom and bust cycle: When gas comes in, more stars can be formed, but if too much gas comes in, it can trigger a st...
