Our Galaxy galaxy will undoubtedly endure in its present kind of bit longer than some astronomers had believed, a new research study suggests.A view of the Andromeda galaxy, also known as M31, with measurements of the motions of stars within the galaxy. This spiral galaxy is the nearest large neighbor of our Milky Way. (Image...
It is not a quick radio ruptured, a pulsar, or low-mass star. So what in the heavens is it?Astronomers have found an unusual, repeating radio signal near the center of the Milky Way, and also it differs from any other energy signature ever studied.The center of the Milky Way, as seen by NASA's Chandra,...

GarlickOur galaxy is not as well-blended as scientists occasionally think, according to brand-new research.That new study mainly focuses on the distribution of what astronomers consider metals-- which is genuinely just every component besides hydrogen and helium, even when...
Scientists launched the first set of gamma photon data acquired by the Dark Matter Particle Explorer.Credit: DAMPE CollaborationFor the very first time, in May of 2021, China's Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) Collaboration directly observed a spectral softening of helium nuclei of around 34TeV. Now, we have even more excellent news from the satellite-based...

In 2019, when it turned 29, it sent us a treasure of a shot of the crab nebula.Now, it is back with a fantastic...
The fall of a blue ultra-diffuse galaxy into a galaxy system and its subsequent ejection as a red ultra-diffuse galaxy. Credit: MITThe results give a blueprint for finding such systems in deep space's quieter, emptier areas.By definition, dwarf galaxies are tiny and dim, with just a fraction of the stars located in the Milky...
