Gleamoscope, an interactive map, lets you explore the Milky Way galaxy and the nearby universe in many different electromagnetic frequencies.
September 14, 2016 at 1:19 pm. A new map of the galaxy, the most precise to date, reveals positions on the sky for over 1 billion stars both within and beyond the Milky Way. This new galactic ...
COSMIC DUST BUNNIES A 3-D map of the plane of the Milky Way shows where dust accumulates (red is the most dust, blue the least).From top to bottom, each panel extends another roughly 3,300 light ...
A galactic skeleton of dark interstellar gas tendrils might help map the scaffolding of our galaxy, a new study suggests. Six of these “bones,” each 40 to 150 light-years long and less than a ...
Three ways to map the Milky Way. In these three views, the Milky Way is seen in visible light (top), in gamma rays (middle) and in high-energy neutrinos (bottom). This first-ever particle-based ...
Red giants map how the Milky Way grew. Measuring the mass of 70,000 aging stars reveals older center, younger outskirts. AGE MAP The ages of tens of thousands of red giant stars are charted atop a ...
May 12, 2022 at 9:38 am. There’s a new addition to astronomers’ portrait gallery of black holes. Astronomers announced May 12 that they have finally assembled an image of the supermassive ...
A century ago, astronomy’s Great Debate foreshadowed today’s view of the universe. The argument between Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis 100 years ago was ultimately settled by Edwin Hubble. By ...
Milky Way, begone! Bright galaxies and gas clouds in the southern sky imaged by HIPASS. These galaxies, some newly visible, lie in strings and sheets rather than fill the sky uniformly.
Their preliminary map reveals the outer limits of the Milky Way’s stellar disk. At the center of the galaxy, the map shows that the galactic bar measures about 15,000 light-years across.
