English: This animation depicts the collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy. Hubble Space Telescope observations indicate that the two galaxies, pulled together by their mutual gravity, will crash together about 4 billion years from now.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope imaged sections of the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy, a region called the Extreme Outer Galaxy. As shown here, the telescope observed newly formed stars and ...

The milky white band of stars, dust and gas that makes up the core of the galaxy is visible to the naked eye during the summer months, but if you’re struggling to see it, a camera that allows ...
Careful effort was taken to avoid facing the camera toward the Solar System's central star, the Sun, due to the intense heat at close distance. All four Galilean moons are visible in this Narrow-Angle Camera image. Several moons are visible in the photo, including the Earth's Moon, and all four Galilean moons: Callisto, Ganymede, Europa, and Io.
Data release 10 (DR10), released to the public on 31 July 2013, [7] includes all data from previous releases, plus the first results from the APO Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), including over 57,000 high-resolution infrared spectra of stars in the Milky Way. DR10 also includes over 670,000 new BOSS spectra of galaxies and quasars in ...
The cluster currently belongs to the Milky Way, although it was likely stolen from a dwarf galaxy that collided with the Milky Way. NGC 2808 is one of the Milky Way's most massive clusters, containing more than a million stars. It is estimated to be 12.5 billion years old. The cluster is being disrupted by the galactic tide, trailing a long ...
