New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite ...

Scientists predict up to 100 invisible galaxies may orbit the Milky Way, hiding just beyond our current detection limits.

There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to ...

Our sun and the planets that circle it are part of a galaxy called the Milky Way. Its name comes from the Greek galaxias kyklos (“milky circle”) and Latin via lactea (“milky road”). Find a remote area ...

Our solar system resides in the spiral Milky Way (MW) Galaxy. American astronomer Edwin Hubble (1889-1953) is credited with discovering the shape and scope of it, so named because it looks like a ...

A new interactive map will show you the entire observable universe using data from the Sloan Digital Sky ... I mean our galaxy, the Milky Way which has billions of stars and planets,” Ménard ...

This is surprising because galaxies were much more chaotic in the early universe and very few had similar structures to the Milky Way.” Ceers-2112 has a bar in its center.

"In this map, we are just a speck at the very bottom, just one pixel. And when I saw we, I mean our galaxy, the Milky Way which has billions of stars and planets," Ménard said.

The spins of some early galaxies could be a clue that the entire observable universe exists within a black hole—except, that is, for all the evidence to the contrary ...

Until now it was believed that barred spiral galaxies like the Milky Way could not be observed before the universe, estimated to be 13.8 billion years old, reached half of its current age.
