Scientists Say the Milky Way Might Sit Inside a Massive Dark Matter Sheet
Astronomers found the Milky Way lies within a massive flat sheet of dark matter about 32 million light-years across. Simulations show this structure and nearby cosmic voids balance gravitational forces, explaining why most nearby galaxies move away instead of falling toward the Local Group.

Indian Scientists Discover Ancient Milky Way-Like Galaxy Alaknanda With Spiral Arms
Indian scientists have discovered an ancient and massive galaxy called Alaknanda. It looks similar to our Milky Way galaxy and is special because it has clear spiral arms, even though it formed when the universe was only 1.5 billion years old.

Scientists See Insides Of Dying Star For The First Time
Scientists for the first time have spotted the insides of a dying star as it exploded, offering a rare peek into stellar evolution.

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.

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.

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.

Our Neighbouring Galaxy Is Being Torn Apart, Scientists Make Shocking Discovery
Scientists made the claim after analysing the data collected by the European Space Agency's recently retired Gaia spacecraft.

Energy Signals From Milky Way's Core Could Unveil New Type Of Dark Matter: Study
A new study suggests that clues about dark matter may be hidden in the Milky Way's Central Molecular Zone, where unexplained chemical reactions could be caused by a lighter form of dark matter.

Astronomers Detect Flares From Milky Way's Black Hole
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers captured the most detailed look at this black hole activity

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.

Earliest Building Blocks Of Milky Way Galaxy Named Shakti, Shiva By Scientists
Earliest "building blocks" of our Milky Way galaxy have been identified from 12-13 billion years ago, which is very close in time to when the universe's first galaxies started to form, according to a new research.

NASA's James Webb Shares Never-Before-Seen Pic Of Heart Of Our Galaxy
The image, taken from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, shows a portion of the dense centre of our home galaxy in unprecedented detail.

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.

Our Galaxy Is Generating More Stars Than We Thought: Study
The Milky Way has been producing stars at a rate that is 2-4 times higher than previously thought.
