Milky Way To Collide With Its Largest Neighbour Andromeda? What New Study Said
Earlier, scientists believed the collision may destroy both galaxies, merging them into an elongated one.

Milky Way May Not Be Destroyed In Galactic Smash-Up After All
The Milky Way may not have a catastrophic collision with another huge galaxy as has been predicted, computer simulations revealed, giving our home galaxy a coin-flip chance of avoiding destruction.

Astronomers Baffled By Mysterious Object Emitting X-Rays And Radio Waves In Milky Way
The object, designated ASKAP J1832-0911, is located 15,000 light-years away and its nature is currently unknown, though it could be a highly magnetized dead star or something entirely new.

Astronomers Spot Nearly Perfect Supernova Remnant of Unknown Size and Distance
Astronomers have spotted a nearly perfect spherical supernova remnant named Telios on the Milky Way’s outskirts. With its low brightness and unknown distance, Telios defies standard models of cosmic remnants and may signal a rare Type Ia supernova. Its symmetry makes it one of the most intriguing galactic remnants ever recorded.

Astronomers Spot Galaxy Shaped Like Milky Way But Is Far More Massive
Astronomers have observed a galaxy dating to an earlier epoch in the universe's history that surprisingly is shaped much like our Milky Way but far more massive, offering new insight into galactic formation.

New Study Confirms TeV Halos Are Common in Middle-Aged Pulsars
A recent study by researchers from the U.S. and Mexico using data from the HAWC Observatory has confirmed that TeV halos are a universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. These extended regions of gamma-ray emission are significantly larger than pulsar wind nebulae and may help identify otherwise undetectable pulsars. The findings challenge existing ...

NASA Reveals a Fracture in Huge Cosmic Bone: Everything You Need to Know
With the use of the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, NASA has detected a fracture in the Milky Way. The bone is a galactic center filament that is based at a distance of 26,000 light years from Earth. The fracture would have occurred due to collisions with the neutron star, known as a pulsar, that spins rapidly. The scientists suspect that the fracture w...

NASA’s SPHEREx Telescope Begins 3D Infrared Mapping of the Universe
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has officially begun its two-year mission to map the entire sky in infrared light, capturing 3,600 images per day and covering 102 different wavelengths. The observatory aims to chart hundreds of millions of galaxies in 3D and uncover clues about the universe’s earliest moments. It will also trace the presence of ...

NASA’s New Space Telescope Starts Mapping to Reveal Universe’s Deep Mysteries
NASA’s SPHEREx space telescope has begun its mission to scan the entire sky in 102 infrared wavelengths, capturing 3,600 images daily. Over the next two years, it will create a 3D map of hundreds of millions of galaxies, explore cosmic inflation, and search for life-forming ingredients in the Milky Way—unlocking new insights into the universe...

Scientists Confirm Existence Of First Lone Black Hole In Milky Way
Prior to the current finding, all black holes that scientists have ever identified have been spotted with a companion star.

Astronomers Discover Potential ‘Dark Galaxy’ Near the Milky Way
Astronomers have spotted a massive hydrogen cloud near the Milky Way that may be a rare dark galaxy—an object composed of gas and dark matter but lacking stars and light. Detected through radio telescopes, the galaxy-like structure challenges conventional astronomy and could reveal hidden phases of galaxy formation and dark matter interaction in ...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Farthest Spiral Galaxy, Reveals Clues About Galactic Evolution
JWST discovers Zhúlóng, the earliest Milky Way-like galaxy, 800 million years after the Big Bang explosion occurred.

Bizzare 'Failed Star' Planet Orbiting Double Star System in Milky Way Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet 90 degrees tilted around a special pair of eclipsing brown dwarfs. This uncommon "polar planet" challenges accepted wisdom on planet creation by presenting new insights on the dynamics of binary stars and the range of Milky Way planetary orbits.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Tracks a Neutron Star With Mysterious Origin
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope spotted a rogue magnetar, dubbed SGR 0501+4516, traversing our galaxy for a significantly long time. As per claims by scientists, it was first discovered in the year 2008 by NASA's Swift Observatory as intense flashes of gamma rays in the outer area of the Milky Way
