Teams of astronomers studying the Milky Way using infrared and radio waves presented an updated view of our galaxy’s structure June 3 at the American Astronomical Society meeting in St. Louis. Among ...

Astronomers are seeing what Earth's own galaxy looked like in its youth by scanning the skies for some of the oldest objects in the universe. Using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array ...

The dual disk structure of our home galaxy may not be as unique as once thought, according to the results of a new study that probed the cross section of a spiral galaxy orbiting edge-on from the ...

Astronomers have gotten their first clear look at galaxy in the very early universe that could have evolved into a structure somewhat like the Milky Way. Made up predominantly of gas when spotted ...

Astronomers classify galaxies based on their structure; there are a number of different galaxy classifications out there, such as elliptical, irregular, and spiral, but now astronomers have come up ...
