Observations show Andromeda has a more active star formation history than the Milky Way, potentially due to a past galactic ...

High radiation during a time of frenzied star formation in the Milky Way left one stellar population with few chances to form planets, a study reports.

Hubble has previously imaged the same nebula, with an image released in 2023 and another shared in 2020. You might also recognize the name of this nebula as it was made world famous when the James ...

Recent studies challenge the long-held belief that the Milky Way is a standard model for understanding galaxy formation, ...

ESA’s decade-long Milky Way Gaia mapping mission still has tons of data to release over the next few years. Expect surprises.
