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

Stars usually form in clusters, which can also form in pairs or groups. Binary clusters (BCs) are defined as pairs of open ...

NASA's powerful James Webb Space telescope has revealed a colorful spread of stars and cosmic dust in the Milky Way's most active star-forming region. The telescope was studying Sagittarius B2, a ...

A binary star system, designated D9, has been discovered orbiting the Milky Way's supermassive black hole (SMBH), providing the first compelling evidence that previously enigmatic G objects are ...

An international research team led by PD Dr. Florian Peissker at the University of Cologne has used the new observation ...

A new study of super-fast-moving stars suggests that they were accelerated by a monster black hole that's been lurking unseen in the galaxy next door. This appears to be the closest supermassive black ...
