How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z For the first time, a team of astronomers at NSF’s NOIRLab found exciting new clues showing many stars moving into Andromeda Galaxy, the Milky Way’s nearest neighbour. Surprise Surprise! Stars Moving into Another Galaxy 2023-02-28T05:00:00Z And it was less than 100 years ago that researchers found out the Milky Way wasn’t the only galaxy in the cosmos but rather one of billions. The Most Surprising Discoveries in Physics 2023-07-27T04:00:00Z From this analysis, they estimate that there are about 20 times more free-floating worlds in our Milky Way than stars, with Earth-mass planets 180 times more common than rogue Jupiters. Our Galaxy Is Home to Trillions of Worlds Gone Rogue 2023-08-06T04:00:00Z No photograph exists of the Milky Way as a whole.

How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z Did you know that most of the stars in the Milky Way’s halo were formed in another galaxy? Surprise Surprise! Stars Moving into Another Galaxy 2023-02-28T05:00:00Z The star is located in our Milky Way galaxy about 1,300 light years from Earth in the direction of the Cygnus constellation. Introducing Janus, the exotic 'two-faced' white dwarf star 2023-07-21T04:00:00Z He also said that the abundance of free floaters in the Milky Way suggests that planet-size objects slamming into each other during the formation process “are maybe more common than theorists might have guessed.” Our Galaxy Is Home to Trillions of Worlds Gone Rogue 2023-08-06T04:00:00Z He chose it as the site for the first Galaxy Garden, a topiary re-creation of the Milky Way. This space artist changed the way we see the universe 2023-07-26T04:00:00Z There’s amusing redundancy in calling it the Milky Way galaxy, as many do. How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z Galaxies in the sky were found to be flying away from the Milky Way at high speed, swept along by the ceaselessly growing void—and the farther off they were, the faster they flew. Time Flowed Five Times Slower Shortly after the Big Bang 2023-07-19T04:00:00Z Both professional and amateur stargazers like to look at Rho Ophiuchi, which can be found just to one side of the plane of the Milky Way. James Webb telescope image dazzles on science birthday 2023-07-12T04:00:00Z “So now we have three independent studies and three independent lines of evidence that low mass free-floating planets are very common in the Milky Way,” he wrote in an email. Our Galaxy Is Home to Trillions of Worlds Gone Rogue 2023-08-06T04:00:00Z If you can imagine the swirling spiral of the Milky Way galaxy, you are almost certainly picturing a version of Lomberg’s vision of our celestial neighborhood. This space artist changed the way we see the universe 2023-07-26T04:00:00Z Over the centuries, many observers hypothesized that the Milky Way’s soft luminescence was the collective glow from myriads of stars that were too faint and close together in the sky to be individually distinguished. How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z The best way I can say it is that the Milky Way galaxy, the one that we live in, which is similar in size to this Phantom Galaxy.

In a First, Scientists See Neutrinos Emitted by the Milky Way 2023-06-29T04:00:00Z Somewhat curiously, there were no neutrinos that astronomers could confidently say had come from within our Milky Way galaxy. Neutrinos Build a Ghostly Map of the Milky Way 2023-06-29T04:00:00Z And because scientists believe these binaries emerge as a consequence of collisions between supermassive-black-hole-hosting galaxies, NANOGrav’s work should shed light on the hierarchical assembly of large galaxies, including the Milky Way. Scientists Thrill at First Hints of Cosmic ‘Hum’ from Giant Gravitational Waves 2023-06-28T04:00:00Z But the fact that it appeared relatively flat suggested to 18th-century astronomers that the Milky Way was actually a disklike assemblage of stars that was more like a pancake than a sphere. How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z It is a century since astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered that the Milky Way was just one of millions of galaxies - that it was our place in a vast Universe. Milky Way: Icy observatory reveals 'ghost particles' 2023-06-29T04:00:00Z In particular, Milky Way neutrinos may help scientists understand the origin of high-energy particles known as cosmic rays, which kick off the formation of neutrinos. In a First, Scientists See Neutrinos Emitted by the Milky Way 2023-06-29T04:00:00Z One obstacle to linking neutrinos to events in the Milky Way was the placement of the IceCube detector in the Southern Hemisphere, where our galaxy is most readily observed.

JWST’s Hunt for Habitable Exoplanets Finds Disappointment, Again 2023-06-21T04:00:00Z The researchers did not look at any of the intermediate results, and the scientists did not know until the end whether their analysis had turned up any Milky Way neutrinos at all. Neutrinos Build a Ghostly Map of the Milky Way 2023-06-29T04:00:00Z But even if the universe was finite, even if the Milky Way was all there is, they still would’ve gotten their estimate wrong. Why Does Smoke Turn the Sky Orange? 2023-06-16T04:00:00Z But it was also possible the nebulae might just be small clouds inside a Milky Way that comprised the entire universe. How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z They look very, very similar to the ones that we see in the Milky Way.

Our Local Black Hole Serves Up an ‘Awe Moment’ 2023-06-08T04:00:00Z Either way, the question remained: Where are we in the Milky Way? How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z And what do they tell us about the Milky Way’s heart? Strange Giant Filaments Reveal a Mystery at the Milky Way’s Heart 2023-06-22T04:00:00Z Either way, it implies that complex life is rare, and we may even be alone in the Milky Way. Most Aliens May Be Artificial Intelligence, Not Life as We Know It 2023-06-01T04:00:00Z Sophisticated telescopes have surveyed the Milky Way across the spectrum of light, from radio waves to ultra-high-energy gamma rays.

Your Monday Briefing 2023-04-24T04:00:00Z In the 1920s astronomers Edwin Hubble and Vesto Slipher were able to show that some of the spiral and elliptical nebulae were terribly distant and not inside the Milky Way at all. How Seeing the Milky Way Helped Us Discover the Whole Universe 2023-08-04T04:00:00Z A few years later, astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that galaxies other than the Milky Way exist, and current estimates put the total number of galaxies in the observable universe at a staggering trillion or more. How Far Should We Take Our Cosmic Humility? 2023-04-19T04:00:00Z Practically speaking, this means the Milky Way is typically invisible. The Biggest, Darkest Sky in Australia 2023-04-21T04:00:00Z The Milky Way, our home galaxy, was rolling straight overhead, and the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, satellite galaxies of our own, floated alongside like ghosts.
