Hubble Telescope Reveals Milky Way Blowing Gas off LMC Galaxy in Close Encounter
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured an extraordinary phenomenon as the Milky Way galaxy exerts ram pressure on the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), stripping away most of its gas halo. The interaction, which occurs as LMC passes near the Milky Way, has led to the loss of significant mass from the dwarf galaxy. Despite this, LMC retains enough...

NASA’s Hubble Reveals Impact of Milky Way’s Gravitational Force on Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently observed the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) interacting with the Milky Way’s halo. Researchers found that the LMC’s gas halo has been significantly reduced, likely due to ram-pressure stripping. Despite this, the LMC retains enough gas to continue star formation. Future studies will focus on exploring othe...

Milky Way Blasts Neighbouring Galaxy's Mass Like A 'Giant Hairdryer', Hubble Finds
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning phenomenon happening in the outer reaches of the Milky Way galaxy.

Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly
Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is spinning in an unusual way, and scientists now believe they may know why. Based on new data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers suggest that this cosmic giant likely merged with another black hole billions of years ago. This colo...

Milky Way and Andromedia Fated Collision Might Not Happen, Reveals New Study
Recent research has cast doubt on the certainty of the Milky Way-Andromeda galaxy collision, suggesting the event may not be as inevitable as once thought. Traditionally, astronomers have predicted that our galaxy would merge with Andromeda within the next 5 billion years, creating a new elliptical galaxy often referred to as "Milkomeda." However, ...

Astronomers Find Abundance Of Milky Way-Like Galaxies In Early Universe
Scientists earlier thought that these galaxies were too fragile to exist in the early Universe.

First Ever View of the Milky Way Seen Through the Lens of Neutrino Particles
Data collected by an observatory in Antarctica has produced our first view of the Milky Way galaxy through the lens of neutrino particles. It’s the first time we have seen our galaxy “painted” with a particle, rather than in different wavelengths of light. The result, published in Science, provides researchers with a new window on the cosmos.

One-Third Of Galaxy's Most Common Planets Could Be In Habitable Zone: Study
Many exoplanets orbiting common, small stars like this one could host liquid water and potentially life.

Rogue Black Hole or Neutron Star: Scientists Puzzled With New Interstellar Object in the Milky Way Galaxy
A team of astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley have reached a conclusion to substantiate the idea of detecting a rogue black hole in the Milky Way. The object is more likely to be a neutron star than a rogue black hole. The team of astronomers led by Casey Lam and Jessica Lu of the University of California, Berkeley, used astron...

New Secrets Of Milky Way Galaxy Revealed By Gaia Space Probe
The Gaia space probe unveiled its latest discoveries on Monday in its quest to map the Milky Way in unprecedented detail, surveying nearly two million stars and revealing mysterious "starquakes" which sweep across the fiery giants like vast tsunamis.

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Shares New Image to Show How Milky Way Would Appear From Afar
Using its Hubble Space Telescope, NASA found the galaxy that looks like a distant cousin of the Milky Way.

Sounds From Around The Milky Way
The center of our Milky Way galaxy is too distant for us to visit in person, but we can still explore it. Telescopes give us a chance to see what the galactic center looks like in different types of light. By translating the inherently digital data (in the form of ones and zeroes) captured by telescopes in space into images, astronomers create visu...

ESA's Gaia Detects Unexpected Disruption in Milky Way
The Milky Way galaxy is still enduring the effects of a near collision that likely took place sometime in the past 300-900 million years.

Edge Of Spiral Galaxies Could Be Rife With Colliding Black Holes: Study
The outskirts of spiral galaxies like our own Milky Way could be crowded with colliding black holes of massive proportions and a prime location for hunting the sources of gravitational waves, a study led by an Indian origin researcher has found.

Mysterious 'Noodles' Lurking In The Milky Way
Mysterious, invisible structures shaped like noodles, lasagna sheets or hazelnuts could be floating around in our galaxy, scientists have found, a breakthrough that could radically challenge our understanding of gas conditions in the Milky Way.
