Scientists have captured the most complete, high-resolution map of the cold gas at the center of the Milky Way, which contains the raw material from which stars and planets are made. Information from ...

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 ...

The Milky Way’s centre looks nothing like the calm band of starlight you see from a dark hillside. In a new, ultra-wide radio mosaic, the region turns into a tangle of cold, threadlike gas structures.

An international team of astronomers has captured the central region of the Milky Way in unprecedented detail.

This image shows the complex distribution of molecular gas in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of the Milky Way. It was obtained with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which ...

At the center of our galaxy, a vast region of gas and dust remains hidden from our view. A new observation now offers us an unprecedented vision, revealing its internal mechanisms. How do stars ...

Astronomers have successfully mapped the cold gas at the Milky Way's center, offering unprecedented insight into our solar system's origins.

Astronomers have captured the central region of our Milky Way in a striking new image, unveiling a complex network of filaments of cosmic gas in unprecedented detail. Obtained with the Atacama Large ...
