In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the ...

"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 ...

"One day soon we may be able to see these 'missing' galaxies, which would be hugely exciting and could tell us more about how the universe came to be as we see it today." ...

A recent discovery sheds light on a bizarre phenomenon at the center of our Milky Way: the detection of cold hydrogen clouds ...

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

The black hole, spotted 5 billion light-years away in the Cosmic Horseshoe, could be the most massive ever found.

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 ...

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 ...
