Is our home galaxy, the Milky Way Galaxy, a special place? A team of scientists started a journey to answer this question more than a decade ago. Commenced in 2013, the Satellites Around Galactic ...

The Milky Way galaxy has had a violent history. It did not grow though simple and calm accretion, but rather through the aggressive mergers of multiple smaller galaxies. Recently, a team of ...

The most detailed infrared map of the Milky Way contains incredible images of over 1.5 billion objects within our galaxy. The 200,000 images were collected by the Visible and Infrared Survey ...

The Milky Way's system of small, orbiting satellite galaxies is quite unusual, a new 12-year study of other galaxies in the local universe has found. The Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA ...

A long-term survey of small, “satellite” galaxies that orbit larger galaxies across the universe offers new insights into our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Since 2012, the Satellites Around Galactic ...

Astronomers have published a gigantic infrared map of the Milky Way containing more than 1.5 billion objects -- the most detailed one ever made. Using the European Southern Observatory's VISTA ...
