The Milky Way has just been reconstructed in unprecedented detail, with artificial intelligence helping astronomers track the motions and histories of roughly 100 billion stars inside a single digital ...
A new breakthrough AI-assisted simulation of the Milky Way is giving scientists their most detailed look yet at how our galaxy evolves. Tracking more than 100 billion individual stars across 10,000 ...
A USC-led research team has created a series of supercomputer-simulated twins of our Milky Way galaxy—which could help scientists unlock new answers about one of the biggest mysteries in the universe: ...
New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...
The Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than scientists have previously been able to predict or observe, according to new research. Cosmologists at Durham University used a new technique ...
An unusual collection of stars may represent the remnants of a dwarf galaxy that the Milky Way devoured about 10 billion years ago. Astronomers have dubbed the ancient galaxy Loki, after the Norse god ...
Researchers using new simulations suggest that the Milky Way’s past collisions may have reshaped its dark matter core. This distorted structure could naturally explain the puzzling gamma-ray glow long ...
New measurements suggest that two of the Milky Way's spiral arms are around 10% farther away from Earth than we thought. The ...
The Milky Way and Andromeda have appeared locked on a destructive course for decades. Now, thousands of simulations suggest their collision is not destiny, but a contest between gravity, uncertain ...
The glittering image, taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid telescope, heralds a new age of planetary discovery ...
