New Milky Way map reveals the magnificent messiness of our galaxy. News. By Paul Sutter published 7 June 2023 From a distance, our galaxy would be beautiful, if a bit messy. Comments (1) ...

Revolutionary Mapping. With the new data release, Gaia has tracked the positions and motions of the brightest two million stars in the Milky Way, smashing the 100,000-star mark set by Hipparcos ...

The map revealed that the Milky Way is being warped by its stars at distances more than 25,000 light-years from its center. “Our map shows the Milky Way disk is not flat.

"Our new maps nicely demonstrate that the spiral structure in the gas disk of the Milky Way is highly flocculent, and that the overall structure of the disk is complex," Dr. Craig adds.

Rather than being flat as a Frisbee, the Milky Way’s star-studded disk is twisted and warped, according to a new three-dimensional map of our home galaxy.If viewed from the side, the spiral arms ...

Astronomers reveal a new map of the Milky Way, showing a clumpy gas structure in its outer disk. The discovery reshapes how we understand our galaxy’s shape and evolution. The post New Map of ...

Stargazers may catch a cosmic light show this Fourth of July weekend when the Milky Way appears in the night sky across the ...

A stunning new map of the magnetic fields at the Milky Way's center charts never-before-seen features, and raises new questions about how our galaxy's central engine works.

Researchers around the world spent four years gathering and combining telescope data that show how interstellar dust across 500 light-years of the Milky Way’s center interacts with the galaxy ...

Three ways to map the Milky Way. In these three views, the Milky Way is seen in visible light (top), in gamma rays (middle) and in high-energy neutrinos (bottom).

A new map of the Milky Way’s atomic hydrogen, anchored by precise distances to young Cepheid stars, reveals the galaxy’s gas disk is highly clumped and flocculent rather than smooth.
