The result is an unprecedented large-scale 3D map of the galaxy. And that map shows that the edges of the Milky way bend slightly, giving it a warped S shape. "Our map shows the Milky Way disk is ...

By tracking these objects in the core over such a long time, the researchers were able to chart how they moved and build up a 3D map of the galaxy's innermost regions. Dr Lucas says that this ...

distance and motion of stars in our galaxy. Team members used data from the European Space Agency telescope, along with other measurements, to construct a detailed, 3D map of interstellar matter ...

The largest gas cloud in the Milky Way is our immediate neighbour according to a new 3D map of the galaxy by astronomers at Harvard University. The ‘Radcliff wave’ is over 9000 lightyears long ...
