Our Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than we've detected so far. They're just too faint to be seen.

How do you map something you can’t see? For astronomers studying the Milky Way, the answer lies in radio waves-the very lowest frequencies that slip past the dust and gas obscuring our galaxy’s heart.

Astronomers in Australia have created the largest and most detailed low-frequency radio image ever made of the Milky Way, ...

New simulations suggest dark matter could explain the mysterious gamma-ray glow at the Milky Way’s center. The findings show that the galaxy’s early mergers may have shaped dark matter in a way that ...

For decades, astronomers have known that stars orbit the Milky Way’s centre and that the galactic disc is warped.

Simulations of magnetic turbulence in the Milky Way enhance understanding of galactic magnetic fields and their influence on ...
