The result is an unprecedented large-scale 3D map of the galaxy. And that map shows that the edges of the Milky way bend slightly, giving it a warped S shape. "Our map shows the Milky Way disk is ...

Researchers from the University of Connecticut have created the first 3D maps of star-forming gas clouds in one of the most ...

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 ...

The intrepid mapping mission has collected more than three trillion observations that'll change the way we see our neck of ...

Astronomers have published a gigantic map of the Milky Way, unveiling discoveries that have changed their view of the galaxy “forever”. The infrared map contains more than 1.5 billion objects ...

This collage highlights a small selection of regions of the Milky Way imaged as part of the most ... [+] detailed infrared map ever of our galaxy. Here we see, from left to right and top to bottom ...

Hubble revealed a universe of galaxies that existed beyond ours — but he couldn't have done it without a little help.

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 ...
