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.

"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 to Map the Sky in 3D Set for February 2025 Launch
NASA's SPHEREx mission, set to launch in February 2025 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, will create a 3D map of the sky, examining hundreds of millions of galaxies to study the universe’s inflation phase. It will also explore the "collective glow" of distant galaxies and life-essential molecules like water and carbon dioxide in the Milky Way. The mis...

Ancient Stars Found Near Sun Suggest Milky Way is Older Than Previously Thought
The discovery of 13 billion-year-old stars near the Sun challenges previous understandings of the Milky Way's formation, suggesting that our galaxy's history may be far older than once believed.

These Newly Discovered Stars May be the Oldest in Our Galaxy
Stars recently discovered in the center of the Milky Way may be the oldest scientists have ever seen. Dating back to when the universe was just 300 million years young - which is incredibly early in the universe's 13.8 billion year history - the new-old stars were probably born before our galaxy even existed.
