A state-of-the art new “dark energy” camera in Chile has produced a stunning image of the galactic plane of the Milky Way that reveals over three billion objects. The huge composite image ...

An artist's composite image of a photo of the Milky Way captured with visual light along with the first-ever neutrino-based image of the Milky Way. The detected neutrinos, depicted in blue ...

BREATHTAKING new images of the Milky Way have been been revealed as part of what scientists say is the most detailed infrared map ever made. The map is made up of roughly 200,000 images ...

Two images of the Milky Way galaxy. The top is captured with visible light and the bottom is the first-ever captured with neutrinos. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the ...

A probabilistic new map of the universe surrounding the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy is likely part of an even larger "basin of attraction" than we previously assumed. Astronomers at the ...

This image shows the regions of the Milky Way mapped by the VISTA Variables in the Vía Láctea (VVV) ... [+] survey and its companion project, the VVV eXtended survey (VVVX). VISTA is essentially ...

To make this happen, scientists collected about 200,000 images between 2010 and 2023. The most detailed infrared map of the Milky Way contains incredible images of over 1.5 billion objects within ...

This image from NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer showcases NGC 6744, one of the galaxies in the local universe that is most similar to our Milky Way. Thanks For Reading!

Is our home galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, a special place? A team of scientists started a journey to answer this question more than a decade ago. Commenced in 2013, the Satellites Around Galactic ...

(The Milky Way has about 60 known satellites, but most are too faint to be seen by the SAGA Survey.) A mosaic of the images of 378 satellites across 101 Milky Way-like systems that the SAGA team has ...
