Scientists from Japan's RIKEN research centre have created the most detailed simulation of the Milky Way ever made. The incredible galactic map charts more than 100 billion individual stars over the ...

This image shows the gas disc in a computer simulation of a Milky Way-like galaxy from the Auriga suite. Colours represent the ratio of magnesium (Mg) to iron (Fe), revealing that the galactic centre ...

Simulating a billion years using previous best-resolution simulations would take almost 36 years of real computing time. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Scientists from Helsinki, Durham and Toulouse universities used data from NASA's Hubble and the European Space Agency's Gaia space telescopes to simulate how the Milky Way and Andromeda will evolve ...

Galaxies are far more than the sum of their stars. Long before stars even formed, dark matter clumped up and drew regular matter together with its gravity, providing the invisible scaffolding upon ...

For decades, astronomers wondered why most nearby galaxies are speeding away from the Milky Way instead of being pulled in by its gravity. New simulations reveal the answer: our galaxy sits in a ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Simulations that have previously tried to ...

What can the gamma ray light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy teach scientists about the existence of dark matter? This is what a recent study published in Physical Review Letters hopes to address as a ...
