Using the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO) Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy (Vista) telescope, the scientists monitored the central regions of the Milky Way for more than ...
In July 2020, after a 20-year-long survey, astrophysicists of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey published the largest, most detailed 3D map of the universe so far, filled a gap of 11 billion years in its expansion history, and provided data which supports the theory of a flat geometry of the universe and confirms that different regions seem to be ...
The Milky Way [c] is the galaxy that includes the Solar System, with the name describing the galaxy's appearance from Earth: a hazy band of light seen in the night sky formed from stars that cannot be individually distinguished by the naked eye.
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is an astronomical survey designed to constrain the properties of dark energy.It uses images taken in the near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared to measure the expansion of the universe using Type Ia supernovae, baryon acoustic oscillations, the number of galaxy clusters, and weak gravitational lensing.

Astronomers have released an image of the Milky Way that maps some of the largest structures in the galaxy, including nebulas and the galactic center.
The result isn't just a gorgeous image, but also an incredibly accurate look at our home galaxy. Along with that sky map, the ESA also released a really fantastic 360-degree video of the night sky ...
Wide angle view showing Canopus and other prominent stars with the Milky Way. In the Southern Hemisphere, Canopus and Sirius are both visible high in the sky simultaneously, and reach a meridian just 21 min apart. Brighter than first magnitude, Canopus can be seen by naked eye in the early twilight.
