The Milky Way has just been reconstructed in unprecedented detail, with artificial intelligence helping astronomers track the motions and histories of roughly 100 billion stars inside a single digital ...

New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite galaxies—up to 100 more than we currently know. These elusive "orphan" galaxies have ...

Astronomers have finally identified where the Milky Way’s star-making activity fades, uncovering a long-sought boundary in ...

TROY, N.Y. – Heidi Jo Newberg, associate professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Brian Yanny, an astrophysicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, who are leading a team ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.

"This work is a unique collaboration between astronomers and computer scientists advancing cutting-edge computational tools from both the fields of AI and gravitational physics." When you purchase ...

Milky Way photography goes beyond capturing the stars. It becomes a way to explore remote environments, challenge physical ...

The SAGA Survey just published three new research articles that provide us with new insights into the uniqueness of our own Milky Way Galaxy after completing the census of 101 satellite systems ...

Our most massive satellite galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), has been the center of a heated debate in the astrophysics community over the last few years. That debate centers on whether this ...

The Milky Way galaxy grew into its current form with the help of smaller galaxies over time, which it has "consumed" or ...
