The Milky Way has just been reconstructed in unprecedented detail, with artificial intelligence helping astronomers track the motions and histories of roughly 100 billion stars inside a single digital ...

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, ...

A new breakthrough AI-assisted simulation of the Milky Way is giving scientists their most detailed look yet at how our galaxy evolves. Tracking more than 100 billion individual stars across 10,000 ...

Deep inside the Milky Way, an invisible force is quietly holding everything together — its magnetic field. Now, researchers have created one of the most detailed maps ever of this hidden structure, ...

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way are cosmic fossils. New simulations reveal how these tiny systems reflect ...

How far the Milky Way's disc extends has long been difficult to define — it doesn't end sharply, but fades away gradually at its outer edges. Now, for the first time, an international team of ...

What does the Milky Way look like? Sometimes, the billions of stars comprising our home galaxy appear especially vibrant during “Milky Way season” as the band arcs across the night sky. The reason has ...
