Medicine & TechnologyScientists in the US proposed shooting tardigrades to distant stars in the Milky Way to test how indestructible they are when under extreme temperatures, pressures, and radiation in space.
Scientists used ESA's Gaia satellite to find the largest structure in the Milky Way, a hydrogen filament, which they called Maggie after the longest river in Colombia, the Rio Magdalena.
With the use of several telescopes globally, astronomers found at least 70 rogue planets in the Milky way that marked the largest group of rogue planets ever discovered.
For the first time, astronomers have detected gamma rays emanating from ultra-fast outflows coming from several nearby galaxies that may provide answers on how Milky Way came about.
Astronomers using NASA's powerful Chandra X-Ray Observatory telescope may have recently discovered evidence of the first exoplanet circling a star outside of the Milky Way galaxy.
While scanning interstellar dust, astronomers discovered a massive hole in space. It's possible that the sphere-shaped phenomena explains how supernovae cause star formation.
A new study located an ancient brown dwarf called WISEA J153429.75-104303.3 or 'The Accident.' This unique brown dwarf could be the missing link between planets and stars, and possibly the key to solve the origins of the Milky Way galaxy.
There is no definite way of how a black hole forms in the universe, but the new high-powered simulation from the researchers of Northwestern University could shed light on how galaxies feed the supermassive black hole.
Just like humans, galaxies, such as the Milky Way, also tend to start chaotically, straightening themselves out into more recognizable shapes like spiral galaxies as they grow up and mature.
