The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long ...

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way appears to be having a party—and it is weird, wild and wonderful.

In 2011, a project that surveyed the Milky Way galaxy for exoplanets — which are planets beyond our solar system — spotted an intriguing signal: They found two objects traveling together ...

It seemed that these redshifted galaxies were all moving away from the Milky Way. Hubble’s results suggested the farther away a galaxy was, the faster it was moving away from Earth. Hubble got ...

The astronomical panorama is a major accomplishment because Andromeda is the “closest” large galaxy to ours, at a distance of 2.5 million light years away — equal to the diameter of the Milky Way disk ...

Also called molecular clouds, they can be massive, spanning hundreds of light-years and forming thousands of stars.

Observations show Andromeda has a more active star formation history than the Milky Way, potentially due to a past galactic collision. NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy ...
