Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum ...

The center of our Milky Way galaxy is the latest in a series of stunning cosmic phenomena that should be visible in August ...

The Milky Way is expected to shine every night through August as it gets higher in a darker sky throughout the United States, ...

The center of the Milky Way, which Dyches refers to as "the core," became visible in June and is expected to shine every ...

It seemed that these redshifted galaxies were all moving away from the Milky Way. Hubble’s results suggested the farther away a galaxy was, the faster it was moving away from Earth.

Large galaxies, like the Milky Way, attract smaller galaxies. Our solar system's cosmic neighborhood spans 100,000 light-years and contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars.

A collision between our Milky Way galaxy and its largest neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy, predicted to occur in about 4.5 billion years, has been anticipated by astronomers since 1912.

The Large Magellanic Cloud, a close neighbor to the Milky Way, may house a giant black hole. It's the closest supermassive black hole outside of our galaxy.

Most galaxies in the cosmos are predicted to be low-mass dwarf galaxies orbiting larger galaxies, like the Milky Way — but this bit is challenging for the LCDM to explain. That's because the ...

In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei used the newly invented telescope to show that the Milky Way was composed of a huge number of faint stars. For the next 300 years, astronomers assumed that the ...
