A sweeping new ALMA image has peeled back the veil on the Milky Way’s core, exposing a dense network of cold gas filaments near the central black hole. Stretching across 650 light-years, the survey ...

Our Sun is actually a cosmic refugee. Around 4.6 billion years ago, it first ignited in a hostile, radiation-blasted neighborhood 10,000 light-years closer to the Milky Way’s center than it is now.

Over 4 billion years ago, as planets were coalescing around the newborn Sun, our star may have gone on an epic road trip across the Milky Way along with thousands of stellar "twins." And we may owe ...

Chinese astronomers have identified a pair of young, blue "baby star clusters" on the outskirts of the Milky Way, approximately 45,000 light-years from Earth.

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...
