From the meteor showers to super moons, this time of year gives us a front row seat to one of the most active regions of the ...

It's hard to imagine that someday, the Milky Way galaxy will cease to exist. Looking up at the stars, it feels as though Earth, and even the solar system that it belongs to, is infinite. But our sun ...

Researchers have successfully performed the world's first Milky Way simulation that accurately represents more than 100 billion individual stars over the course of 10 thousand years. This feat was ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ground-based observations at this wavelength." Astronomers have used the ...

Researchers combined deep learning with high-resolution physics to create the first Milky Way model that tracks over 100 billion stars individually. Their AI learned how gas behaves after supernovae, ...

Even before its full science operations have begun, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory in Chile has already helped astronomers find something remarkable. The observatory's first images, revealed in June, ...

Head-on (left) and side-view (right) snapshots of a galactic disk of gas. These snapshots of gas distribution after a supernova explosion were generated by the deep learning surrogate model.

Simulating a billion years using previous best-resolution simulations would take almost 36 years of real computing time. The most detailed supercomputer simulation ever of our Milky Way galaxy has ...

Dark centre? A simulated version of the Milky Way galaxy. (Courtesy: AIP/ A. Khalatyan) Astronomers have long puzzled over the cause of a mysterious “glow” of very high energy gamma radiation ...
