Radcliffe Wave origin identified in new preprint: Pulkovo Observatory astronomers Bobylev and Bajkova propose globular ...

The new study suggests that water and dust can form and survive surprisingly close to a supermassive black hole, where ...

In a first, astronomers say they’ve detected a long ribbon of stars outside the Milky Way. The globular cluster stellar stream could reveal clues about dark matter.

Astronomers have pulled a discovery out of old Hubble data that changes what dark matter science can do: a faint ribbon of stars caught unraveling from an ancient cluster around a galaxy 115 million ...

In the image above, a faint trail of stars can be seen stretching across the galaxy. These structures, known as globular cluster stellar streams, are coherent stellar structures that retain a record ...

Astronomers found that star clusters do not always form the same balance of small and large stars, challenging a long-standing assumption used to measure galaxies. Gaia data show that a key dividing ...

An ultra-sensitive camera attached to a giant balloon on Earth has captured light from a mysterious source at the centre of the Milky Way. For more than 50 years, astronomers have sought to understand ...

University of Missouri researchers have uncovered evidence that challenges one of astronomy's most trusted assumptions, a breakthrough that could reshape how scientists measure galaxies and ...

Milky Way stars that are high and low in metallicity have been mapped by the ESA Gaia mission. [Gaia spacecraft: Mapping the ...

The Milky Way galaxy's disk of stars may once have flipped onto its side. If it did, the Sun turned with it, along with the rest of ...
