4 days ago · Image of the centre of the Milky Way Galaxy, produced from the observations made by the Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS). The bulge in the band is the centre of the Galaxy. The yellow and green spots and blobs are giant clouds of interstellar gas and dust.
4 days ago · This image and 24 others, which all include data from Chandra, demonstrate how X-ray astronomy explores all corners of the universe. NGC 6872 is 522,000 light-years across, making it more than five times the size of the Milky Way galaxy; in 2013, astronomers from the United States, Chile, and Brazil found it to be the largest-known spiral galaxy , based on archival data from NASA’s Galaxy ...
1 day ago · Based on mass and increasingly precise radius limits, astronomers have concluded that Sagittarius A* must be the central supermassive black hole of the Milky Way galaxy. [11] . The current value of its mass is 4.297 ± 0.012 million solar masses. [2]

3 days ago · Orion Arm. The Orion Arm, also known as the Orion–Cygnus Arm, is a minor spiral arm within the Milky Way Galaxy spanning 3,500 light-years (1,100 parsecs) in width and extending roughly 20,000 light-years (6,100 parsecs) in length. [2] This galactic structure encompasses the Solar System, including Earth.
Jul 3, 2024 · The Milky Way Project aims to sort and measure our galaxy. We're asking you to help us find and draw bubbles in beautiful infrared data from the Spitzer Space Telescope. Understanding the cold, dusty material that we see in these images, helps scientists to learn how stars form and how our galaxy changes and evolves with time.
