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 ...

Milky Way disk flip simulations from Durham University's NAM 2026 presentation show the Milky Way's galactic disk flipped more than 90 degrees after a head-on collision with the Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus ...

A trio of astrophysicists with Harvard and Smithsonian's Center for Astrophysics has found via computer modeling that the likely reason for the warp and flare of the Milky Way galaxy is a tilt of the ...

TROY, N.Y. – Heidi Jo Newberg, associate professor of physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Brian Yanny, an astrophysicist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, who are leading a team ...

Durham University researchers find cataclysmic direct hit with Gaia Sausage sent Milky Way into its current position ...

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 ...
