The Milky Way [c] is the galaxy that includes the Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: ...
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) interferometer detected a strange object that appears to only be emitting microwaves near the Milky Way’s center.
Infrared images show a red giant star, located 30,000 light years away near the center of the Milky Way. The star faded away and then reappeared over the course of several years. - Philip Lucas ...
A star is a massive luminous spheroid astronomical object made of plasma that is held together by its own gravity.Stars exhibit great diversity in their properties (such as mass, volume, velocity, stage in stellar evolution, and distance from Earth) and some of the outliers are so disproportionate in comparison with the general population that they are considered extreme.
Citizen scientists spotted an object zipping through the Milky Way at more than 1 million miles an hour, and a new study shows it could be a rare hypervelocity star. An unusual object is moving so ...

“Even in our Milky Way galaxy we do not have such image.” Massive stars have shorter lives than less massive ones. For instance, the sun is already more than 4.5 billion years old and has ...
Approximately 400 elliptical galaxies are moving toward the Great Attractor beyond the Zone of Avoidance caused by the Milky Way galaxy light. Intense efforts to work through the difficulties caused by the occlusion by the Milky Way during the late 1990s identified the Norma Cluster at the center of the Great Attractor region. [1]
