A slowly rotating stellar halo was the clue to a major and unknown event in the Milky Way's history that saw the spiral disc ...

Understanding the formation and evolution of the centers of galaxies is one of the most intriguing challenges in astrophysics ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and ...

It’s also further evidence that extraterrestrials should've settled the entire Milky Way by now. So where are they? Reading time 5 minutes A new computer simulation shows that a technologically ...

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not the one we thought. Reading time 2 minutes For over a decade, researchers ...

The simulation results show that star formation in dwarf galaxies is closely linked to the supply of cold gas in the CGM. More than 40% to 70% of the galaxy's mass originates from gas inflows, and ...

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 ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

Using a new simulation, Johns Hopkins University researchers have reconciled predictions about neighboring galaxies with what has been observed by astronomers and high-powered telescopes. The results ...
