Astronomers have released a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects. This is the most detailed map ever produced to date. Using the VISTA telescope at the ...

Scientists assembled the first piece of the map, which includes 208 gigapixels, from 260 observations made between March 25 and April 8.

The goal was to create the most detailed and accurate map of the Milky Way ever. After taking images of the night sky for 13 years, the team has now published the map -- and it's absolutely massive.

A probabilistic new map of the universe surrounding the Milky Way reveals that our galaxy is likely part of an even larger "basin of attraction" than we previously assumed. When you purchase ...

27 in the journal Nature Astronomy, researchers analyzed the relative movements of more than 56,000 galaxies to create a 3D "probabilistic" map of all the BOAs surrounding the Milky Way.

The European Space Agency has unveiled the first piece of its incredibly detailed map of the Universe ... This first piece of the map already contains around 100 million sources - stars in our Milky ...

Such a galaxy is egg-shaped, and was likely formed by great collisions between spiral galaxies, such as what might occur between our Milky Way and Andromeda in billions of years. There are a ...

This new approach opens up exciting opportunities to map characteristics like interstellar extinction and metallicity across the Milky Way, aiding in the understanding of stellar populations and ...
