Where exactly are we in the Milky Way? This video maps our true cosmic address with Gaia data—central bar, spiral arms, dark-matter halo, and the Orion Arm where the Solar System lives—and explains ...

The Milky Way, our warped spiral galaxy, spans 120,000 light-years and hosts over 200 billion stars, including our Sun. It's embedded in a dark matter ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology.

A stronomers have seen something they did not expect: an Einstein Cross with not just the standard four images, there was an extra one. This unprecedented present might allow astronomers to better ...

According to Xinhua News Agency in Jerusalem (reporters Wang Zhuolun and Lu Yifan), a new study by researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology and other institutions has unveiled the origin of ...

An international team of astronomer’s dark matter halo discovery an unusual astronomical Einstein Cross phenomenon: a galaxy ...

A team of international astronomers have identified a cosmic oddity unlike anything seen before: a galaxy bent by gravity into an Einstein Cross with not four but five distinct images.

The cluster, also called NGC 104, sits 13,000 light-years away. It is the second brightest globular cluster seen from Earth after Omega Centauri.
