A faint, irradiated streak carved into nearby interstellar clouds is giving astronomers their clearest evidence yet that two ...

New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal galactic rule—it's just one of many possible evolutionary paths. By recreating ...

Along with summer comes the peak time for viewing the core of our galaxy, the Milky Way. But if you want to see the dense area of stars at the center of the Milky Way, you'll need a few conditions in ...

A long-standing scientific belief holds that stars tend to hang out in the same general part of a galaxy where they originally formed. Some astrophysicists have recently questioned whether that is ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...

California stargazers will soon be able to witness a dazzling celestial sight composed of billions of stars. In late May, the Milky Way Galaxy will appear as a vibrant band arching across the night ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. While the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two ...

The Milky Way looks serene from our vantage point, a hazy river of light arcing across the night sky. Yet the stars that make ...

The Milky Way will be more visible in the night-time sky across Michigan in the coming days, experts from NASA say, as we experience a new moon this month. The billions of stars comprising our home ...
