The Milky Way galaxy is like a gigantic ocean gyre or eddy that spins and wobbles around its center. But our home galaxy also has a colossal wave rippling through it, pulling and pushing an ocean of ...

The center of our Milky Way galaxy is expected to shine every night through August as it gets higher in a darker sky. Spectators will have the best luck on cloud-free nights and in locations away from ...

August continues to be a great month to check out the skies. This month offers one of the best opportunities to see the Milky Way. The center of our galaxy is teeming with billions of stars that ...

Are you wondering if you can see the Milky Way in Texas? There's still time. Here's what you need to know to see this phenomenon. The Milky Way is a vast spiral galaxy, composed of stars, dust, and ...

The Milky Way is our home galaxy with a disc of stars that spans more than 100,000 light-years. Though the Milky Way is generally always visible from Earth, certain times of year are better for ...

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighboring galaxies, a University of Queensland survey has found. The paper is published in the Monthly ...

The Milky Way's satellite galaxies are less typical than previously thought. Most Milky Way-like galaxies have star-forming satellite galaxies, unlike our own. The Milky Way's unique satellite galaxy ...
