"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.

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 ...

Astronomers have found a new way of accurately mapping the outer gas disk of the Milky Way using the positions of young stars ...

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 ...

That's because astronomers have recently released a new and more detailed catalog of the Milky Way, called DECaPS2, which includes 3.32 billion celestial objects. Yes, you read that right: 3.32 ...

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 ...

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.

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).

Scientists previously predicted the pair of galaxies would merge in about five billion years. Now, research suggests that ...

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.
