Scientists from Japan's RIKEN research centre have created the most detailed simulation of the Milky Way ever made. The incredible galactic map charts more than 100 billion individual stars over the ...

A recent paper reveals we're almost certainly going to collide with a galaxy in the next couple billion years, but it's not the one we thought. Reading time 2 minutes For over a decade, researchers ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, ...

Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was ...

Astronomers may have uncovered new details about one of the Milky Way's most important ancient collisions. Using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and a new clustering ...

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over ...

As a galactic archaeologist, my job is to reconstruct the past of our galaxy – and read the signs of its future.

This image shows the gas disc in a computer simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy from the Auriga suite. Colours represent the ratio of magnesium (Mg) to iron (Fe), revealing that the galactic centre ...

The last galactic fling was billions of years later than previously thought, indicating our galaxy may have more surprises in store. Reading time 2 minutes An artist’s impression of the Gaia ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.
