Milky Way

Researchers have detected a rare type of stellar object that blasts powerful radio waves toward Earth three times an hour. It may be a new class of dead star.

Astronomers mapped 12 stellar streams, which could lead to the Milky Way's missing dark matter.

A new study into the Local Bubble, a cosmic void surrounding Earth, has mapped out the star-forming regions on the bubble's surface and uncovered more information about its explosive birth.

Astronomers have discovered a cloud of atomic hydrogen more than 3,900 light-years long, known as "Maggie," in the Milky Way.

The deepest and sharpest images of the Milky Way's center have been obtained, enabling astronomers to estimate the mass of the black hole at the galaxy's heart with unmatched precision.

A tiny galaxy orbiting at the outskirts of the Milky Way appears to have a giant black hole at its center, comparable to that of the much larger Milky Way itself, and scientists don't know why.

Researchers rewound the history of the Magellanic Stream, and found it is 5 times closer to Earth that previously thought

Scientists studying cosmic rays near the galaxy's center discovered a strange 'barrier' keeping the fast-moving rays from entering the Milky Way's middle.

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of a massive protocluster 11 billion light-years away that acts as an assembly yard for over 60 emerging galaxies.

For the first time in history, scientists may have discovered a planet in another galaxy.
