The Latest Breaking News from Milky way

A giant 'wave' is rippling through the Milky Way, pushing thousands of stars across the galaxy, and scientists don't know what triggered it.

A new study shows survivor stars can live billions of years longer than normal, carrying chemical fingerprints of their violent encounters with the Milky Way's black hole.

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered dazzling newborn stars and thick cosmic dust in Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way's most enormous star-forming cloud.

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Astronomers have unveiled the most detailed 3D map ever made of stellar nurseries in our Milky Way galaxy.

The moon is near new phase this week, and clearer skies and cooler overnight temperatures means that this is also an optimum week to check out the beautiful summer Milky Way.

When most of us think about what shaped our planet, we probably picture volcanoes, earthquakes, and huge continents slowly drifting apart (or back together again) over millions or billions of years. We also know meteorite impacts were important; our crater-packed Moon is clear evidence of that.

Astronomers say that mysterious interstellar visitors like 'Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS are the most common large bodies in the Milky Way — and our best chance to study other planetary systems.

When the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory goes online later this decade, it will create one of science’s biggest data challenges. The SKA Observatory is a global radio telescope project built in the Southern Hemisphere. There, views of our Milky Way are clearest and the SKA’s remote sites limit human-made…

The image was captured on Aug. 12 as the Perseid meteor shower hit its peak.

A distant galaxy nicknamed "Cosmic Grapes" is bursting with massive star-forming clumps — far more than expected — offering fresh clues about how galaxies grew in the early universe.
