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 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.

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.

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

Webb Telescope Documents Alien Planet's Death Plunge Into Star
The star is located in our Milky Way galaxy about 12,000 light-years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Aquila.

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.

"Music" Of Starquakes Reveals New Way To Understand History Of Galaxy
The "music" of starquakes - enormous vibrations caused by bursting bubbles of gas that ripple throughout the bodies of many stars - can reveal far more information about the stars' histories and inner workings than scientists thought.

NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...

Space Telescope Gaia Sent Into 'Retirement' But Legacy Endures
Europe's Gaia space telescope was powered down and sent into "retirement" on Thursday after a decade revealing the secrets of the Milky Way, but its observations will fuel discoveries for decades to come.

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.
