Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

After more than a decade of mapping the stars, the European spacecraft was shut down on Thursday. But its legacy lives on.

The results allowed the astronomers to reconstruct the first detailed, three-dimensional map of the extinction curve of dust in the Milky Way. This map was made possible by Zhang and Green’s ...

the Milky Way. Now, using a powerful NASA supercomputer called "Pleiades," scientists have discovered yet another spiral structure on the edge of our solar system. The spiral is composed of ...

Researchers have revealed the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way Galaxy, Xinhua News reported Friday. The breakthrough will play a crucial ...

Our solar system's journey around the center of the Milky Way takes it through varying galactic environments, and one may ...

So Gaia is a spacecraft that was launched by the European Space Agency way back in December of 2013. And it was on a mission to create the best, biggest, most accurate map of the Milky Way ever.
