Smooth filaments stretching for many light-years, seen by the powerful space telescope, could indicate what the right "recipe ...

The search for intelligent life in our galaxy is shifting from abstract speculation to detailed cartography, as researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Star clusters are of great importance in any galaxy: they are the birthplace of new stars, often containing massive stars of ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...

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 ...
