Building a hydrogen map for the Milky Way has long been crucial to understanding the galaxy's structure, dynamics, star formation and evolution, as well as refining the observations of distant ...

The first ever map of the Milky Way's "graveyard" reveals the galaxy sometimes ejects the corpses of its deceased stars, leaving them roaming the universe as rogue black holes and neutron stars.
