"At the moment, Punctum truly stands apart — it doesn't fit comfortably into any known category," said Shablovinskaia. "And ...

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighboring galaxies, a University ...

A University of Queensland study suggests that the Milky Way is on a collision course with neighboring galaxies, predicting a ...

A recent discovery sheds light on a bizarre phenomenon at the center of our Milky Way: the detection of cold hydrogen clouds embedded within the superheated Fermi bubbles, vast structures of gas and ...

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) has been used to discover REBELS-25, a Milky Way-like galaxy from the ...

A black hole with a mass equivalent to 36 billion suns—10,000 times heavier than the one at the center of the Milky Way —has been discovered around 5 billion light-years from Earth. It may be the ...

At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light-years away in space, is Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole about 4 million times more massive than the sun. The idea is that Sgr A* scarfed down ...

Astronomers have discovered potentially the most massive black hole ever detected. The cosmic behemoth is close to the ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. Because it appears as a rotating disc curving out from a dense central region, the Milky Way is ...

The existence of a second two-disk galaxy suggests that the Milky Way is rather vanilla, perhaps because the two types of supernovae naturally produce thin and thick disks in most spiral galaxies.

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighbouring galaxies, a University ...
