It turns out that the Milky Way’s disk buckles like a melting Dalí clock. Sometimes it’s hardest to see what’s right in front of your face.

This would help scientists understand how the oldest parts of the galaxy have changed over time, she added. Better 3D maps of the Milky Way can help scientists better understand its shape.

Conventional wisdom has long held that the Milky Way was a flat disk of stars and gas, with a bulge in the middle. But now astronomers have created a more accurate 3D map of the galaxy and found ...

The best 3D map yet of the center of the Milky Way galaxy has revealed a tasty surprise: the heart of our galaxy looks like a cosmic peanut. Two international teams of astronomers discovered the ...

That study looked at 1,339 Cepheids and created one of the most comprehensive 3D maps of the Milky Way, which showed that our home galaxy is twisted at its edges.

Cosmic cartographers are starting work on the biggest 3D map of the universe so far. It should reveal an undulating landscape sculpted by the big bang, and might give us a clue to the underlying ...

The inset for each color-coded section of the map includes an image of a typical galaxy or quasar from that section, and also the signal of the pattern that the eBOSS team measures there.

Most detailed 3D map ever of Milky Way includes nearly 2 billion stars The new data it offers provides measurements that are "orders of magnitude" more exact than prior information, scientists say.

The galaxy we live in is totally bent out of shape. At least, that’s what the latest three-dimensional map of the Milky Way has to say. By pinpointing the locations of more than 2,400 pulsing ...
