Recent star maps unveil Milky Way's history, raising questions about central black hole formation and galaxy mergers' impact. [ more ]

You're constantly moving in multiple directions due to Earth's rotation, orbiting the sun, Milky Way's orbit, and universal expansion. [ more ]

The Milky Way has a new massive black hole, Gaia-BH3, 33 times more massive than the sun, located just 2,000 light years from Earth. [ more ]

NASA unveils new image of the Milky Way taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, showing needle-like structures that have scientists intrigued.

The image reveals 500,000 stars, protostars, and feathery wisps believed to be emissions from ionized hydrogen.

Scientists are puzzled by the needle-shaped structures and are determined to gather more data to understand them. [ more ]

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured new images of the heart of the Milky Way, revealing insights into the origin of the universe.

The images offer clues about how a cosmic environment impacts star formation and show previously unseen details of the galactic center.

JWST's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) captured a dense and abundant star-forming region called Sagittarius C, including a pink pocket of massive protostars. [ more ]

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a star-forming region named Sagittarius C, 300 light-years from the Milky Way's central black hole.

The image contains about 500,000 stars and will provide important insights into stellar formation.

The image shows a dense cluster with a massive protostar and smaller infrared-dark clouds where future stars are forming. [ more ]

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured an image of the heart of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail.

The image shows over 50,000 stars and chaotic clouds at the galactic center, providing new insights into star formation in this extreme environment.

JWST's infrared camera, NIRCam, was used to capture the image and detect light from the earliest stars and galaxies in formation. [ more ]
