Our galaxy is a spiral galaxy that comprises a disc of stars, dust, and gas, and its spiral arms are delimited. Initially, scientists believed that the disc was just flat. Later on, they figured out something else. Apparently, the Milky ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are some super-intense radio wave pulses from the deep Universe that puzzled astronomers’ work for quite some time. The phenomenon is mysterious yet fascinating, and so far, we couldn’t tell much anything about them. The recent ...

ALMA (the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array) offers new data about the most ancient galaxy of its kind ever observed. By the looks of it, things look a bit complicated. Researchers, however, think otherwise. This discovery is essential to solving long-standing ...

The Milky Way collision with Gaia-Enceladus, also known as Gaia Sausage, holds the key to an ancient secret: when the oldest stars in our galaxy formed.  Astronomers discovered recently that many of the stars in the Milky Way were already ...

Ever wondered what does it look like inside a planet? How about Saturn’s interior? Recent work of Johns Hopkins University offers now a sneak peek inside Saturn, and things are as great as you can imagine. The intriguing glimpse of ...

Earth has now quite the sneaky neighbour, and astronomers have all the details. A tiny black hole, approximately 1,500 light-years from Earth, in the Monoceros constellation, it’s excitingly close by. As per astronomers’ calculations, we have nothing to worry about, ...

A team of researchers succeeded in shedding light on how galaxy formation is possible. Apparently, there’s an ancient light that fuels the entire process. The new paper also aims to offer tests for galaxy formation models to understand better the ...

There are still many mysteries that Milky Way challenges us to discover and solve. One of them includes some odd yet fascinating stellar streams, some river-like structures made up of stars. These cosmic features puzzle astronomers’ work, especially when it ...
