Astrophysicists have always dreamed of running a simulation of the Milky Way that could track every single star—each orbit, flare, and explosion—without cutting corners. Now, a team in Japan has ...

TROY, N.Y. – Heidi Jo Newberg, associate professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Brian Yanny, an astrophysicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, who are leading a team ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

The Milky Way is not the calm, flat starry disk many of us learned about in school. Astronomers are now tracking a colossal, ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

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.

A new breakthrough AI-assisted simulation of the Milky Way is giving scientists their most detailed look yet at how our galaxy evolves. Tracking more than 100 billion individual stars across 10,000 ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. While the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Researchers led by Keiya Hirashima at the RIKEN ...
