Explore the debate surrounding a potential dark matter discovery, highlighting skepticism and the need for rigorous ...
Scientists have detected an unusual gamma-ray halo around our Milky Way galaxy. This signal, observed by NASA's Fermi telescope, has a specific energy ...
Researchers combined artificial intelligence (AI) with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually, across 10,000 years of evolution.
The search for intelligent life in our galaxy is shifting from abstract speculation to detailed cartography, as researchers ...
The Milky Way is not the calm, flat starry disk many of us learned about in school. Astronomers are now tracking a colossal, ...
Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe ...
How can star populations help astronomers re-evaluate the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life, also called technosignatures? This is what a study released on the preprint server arXiv, hopes ...
Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...
Star clusters are of great importance in any galaxy: they are the birthplace of new stars, often containing massive stars of ...
Unlike YR4, finding earlier observations of 3I/ATLAS to model where it might have come from was easier said than done. During ...
JWST spots a mature early-universe spiral as CERN reveals how light nuclei form in extreme collisions, challenging core ...
