Map of stars cataloged by the Gaia release in 2021, displayed as density mesh in the diagram. The ESA spacecraft Gaia provides distance estimates by determining the parallax of a billion stars and is mapping the Milky Way with four planned releases of maps in 2016, 2018, 2021 and 2024.
There are 61 small galaxies confirmed to be within 420 kiloparsecs (1.4 million light-years) of the Milky Way, but not all of them are necessarily in orbit, and some may themselves be in orbit of other satellite galaxies.
Based on mass and increasingly precise radius limits, astronomers have concluded that Sagittarius A* must be the central supermassive black hole of the Milky Way galaxy. The current value of its mass is 4.297 ± 0.012 million solar masses .
Astronomers using the Gaia space telescope have located two ancient streams of stars that helped the Milky Way galaxy grow and evolve more than 12 billion years ago.
Location. A map of superclusters within the nearby universe, with Laniakea shown in yellow. The neighboring superclusters to the Laniakea Supercluster are the Shapley Supercluster, Hercules Supercluster, Coma Supercluster, and Perseus–Pisces Supercluster.
The new image of the glowing red hand-like feature showcases CG 4, one of many cometary globules found across the Milky Way galaxy.
The center of the Milky Way – image taken by ISAAC, the VLT 's near- and mid-infrared spectrometer and camera. Infrared image from Spitzer Space Telescope. A view of the night sky near Sagittarius, enhanced to show better contrast and detail in the dust lanes. The principal stars in Sagittarius are indicated in red.
Gaia Sky is an open-source astronomy visualisation desktop and VR program with versions for Windows, Linux and macOS. It is created and developed by Toni Sagristà Sellés in the framework of ESA 's Gaia mission to create a billion-star multi-dimensional map of our Milky Way Galaxy, in the Gaia group of the Astronomisches Rechen-Institut (ZAH ...
The Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy ( Sgr dSph ), also known as the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy ( Sgr dE or Sag DEG ), is an elliptical loop-shaped satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. It contains four globular clusters in its main body, [8] with the brightest of them— NGC 6715 (M54)—being known well before the discovery of the ...
