Astronomers have uncovered evidence that the Milky Way is not drifting through space alone but is embedded in a vast, flat structure of dark matter stretching tens of millions of light-years. The ...

A series of high-resolution simulations has revealed a striking new perspective on theMilky Way’s position in the cosmos. Far ...

For decades, the motions of stars near the center of our Milky Way Galaxy have been treated as some of the clearest evidence ...

New radio observations of the Milky Way are exposing hidden patterns in its magnetic field. People have scanned the night sky ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...

Astronomers have chased hypervelocity stars for more than a century. These rare objects move so fast that the Milky Way cannot keep them.

Scientists are mapping the Milky Way galaxy’s invisible magnetic field, revealing how it holds the galaxy together and ...

For many years, scientists have tried to understand how the Milky Way is positioned in space, and how it moves together with ...

A flat plane of dark matter beyond the Local Group may explain why nearby galaxies move away from us instead of falling ...

A groundbreaking new radio image reveals the Milky Way in more detail than ever before, using low-frequency radio “colors” to ...

A UBC Okanagan-led research project has given a group of international scientists their clearest view yet of the Milky Way's magnetic field, revealing that it is far more complex than previously ...

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 ...
