In their study published Thursday in the journal Science, they showed that by measuring the distance between classical Cepheid variable stars within the galaxy, they could develop a three-dimensional ...

By reconstructing stellar orbits using real Milky Way stars with accurately determined parameters, the team quantified the galaxy's mass-weighted chemical abundances and age structure. This ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has peered into the chaos of the Cartwheel Galaxy, revealing new details about star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. A festive portrait of our Milky Way ...

Galaxy clusters are home to many giant elliptical galaxies that have completed their growth and are not forming stars.

Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

But around the cosmic time that we are seeing the Firefly Sparkle, Milky Way-like galaxy progenitors were about 10,000 times less massive than today’s Milky Way. Hopefully with the collaboration ...

And it looks a lot like our galaxy, the Milky Way. "The extraordinary images—taken with NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope—show a galaxy that glitters with 10 distinct star clusters that ...
