The James Webb Space Telescope has upended expectations again, revealing a massive spiral galaxy in the universe’s infancy ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

The stars in our galaxy exhibit a curious chemical division, but is this the norm in the Universe? A recent study shows that ...

New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal ...

Indian astronomers have identified a surprisingly mature, Milky Way-like galaxy from the universe’s early era. Named ...

A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite galaxies—up to 100 more than we currently know. These elusive "orphan" galaxies have ...

The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way. More broadly, the LCDM represents our best ...

The dark matter distribution of a Milky Way mass halo in a Lambda-cold dark matter (LCDM) cosmological simulation. This is the highest resolution simulation of a MW-mass dark matter halo ever ...
