The Latest Breaking News from Milky way

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, with its massive size, record speed, and mysterious Milky Way origin, has scientists like Avi Loeb speculating if it's alien technology

The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS does not come from our corner of the Milky Way, and may be a time capsule of the early galaxy, new research into its trajectory hints.

On the night of Oct. 5, 1923, Edwin Hubble observed a strange star that flickered in intensity at regular intervals. The star, dubbed M31-V1, was key to showing that the universe extended far beyond the borders of the Milky Way.

A giant 'wave' is rippling through the Milky Way, pushing thousands of stars across the galaxy, and scientists don't know what triggered it.

A new study shows survivor stars can live billions of years longer than normal, carrying chemical fingerprints of their violent encounters with the Milky Way's black hole.

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered dazzling newborn stars and thick cosmic dust in Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way's most enormous star-forming cloud.

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Astronomers have unveiled the most detailed 3D map ever made of stellar nurseries in our Milky Way galaxy.

The moon is near new phase this week, and clearer skies and cooler overnight temperatures means that this is also an optimum week to check out the beautiful summer Milky Way.

When most of us think about what shaped our planet, we probably picture volcanoes, earthquakes, and huge continents slowly drifting apart (or back together again) over millions or billions of years. We also know meteorite impacts were important; our crater-packed Moon is clear evidence of that.

Astronomers say that mysterious interstellar visitors like 'Oumuamua and 3I/ATLAS are the most common large bodies in the Milky Way — and our best chance to study other planetary systems.
