Scientists once thought the early universe didn't make them.

For most of human history, the Milky Way has been a hazy band of light, a backdrop rather than a map. Now, by reading the ...

The Milky Way is not the calm, flat starry disk many of us learned about in school. Astronomers are now tracking a colossal, ...

Studies of exoplanets such as Wasp-18b are crucial to deepening understanding of space ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...
