Just like the Earth was once thought to be flat, so was the Milky Way. However, a new 3D map of the galaxy shows otherwise. While being spiral in shape, the galaxy’s disk is a warped and twisted ...

A 3D map of our cosmic neighborhood has revealed hot and cold regions as well as an "escape tunnel" from our local bubble.

This is the first time that any large scale project has attempted to map the gravitational field of the Milky Way. It will take some time to complete the full mapping but it when complete it will ...

The result is an unprecedented large-scale 3D map of the galaxy. And that map shows that the edges of the Milky way bend slightly, giving it a warped S shape. "Our map shows the Milky Way disk is ...

Years ago, astronomers started working on a comprehensive map of the Milky Way by observing it from the European Southern Observatory, an intergovernmental research organization located in Chile.

Astrophysicists have reconstructed the movement of stars within globular clusters to understand their evolution and origin.
