Like the one recently reported by a group of researchers. The discovery Recently, researchers from the UC Santa Cruz University of California … Read more
Our galaxy would be special and would represent a kind of anomaly in the Universe, according to an international scientific team using an advanced computer model. Our Milky Way is too big for its “cosmic wall”, which would be rare. But where do we live? The question is complex. Since the Big Bang, our Universe … Read more
A study by an international team of astronomers has concluded that the Milky Way is larger than its cosmic wall, in a way that had not been appreciated before. The astronomy team from the British Royal Astronomical Society in London explained that the history of astronomy revolves around the realization that our galaxy in the … Read more

It took 21,400 galactic photos to capture some 3.32 billion stars and galaxies in one of the largest surveys of the sky ever. The result is a gargantuan catalog of our galaxy produced by an American team. “This is a real technical feat. Imagine a group photo of more than three billion people and each … Read more
Astronomers have published a panorama of part of the galactic plane of the Milky Way. The goal was to arrive at a dataset to visualize and categorize as many objects as possible, a total of 3.3 billion objects and a dataset of more than 10TB. This is a major study of the Milky Way conducted … Read more
A survey carried out by astronomers at the University of California with the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey, the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope program, revealed the most distant constellation of the Milky Way, at a distance of 1 million light years from our planet. The discovery will make it possible to accurately map the boundaries of our … Read more
