These new findings shed light on the warped, twisted shape of the galaxy's disk, researchers added. The Milky Way is a spiral galaxy comprised of a bar-shaped core region surrounded by a flat disk ...

Using cutting-edge 3D galaxy maps and an innovative approach called field-level inference (FLI), researchers are uncovering ...

The team released this visualization that shows radio sources from the new sky maps as an interactive 3D map. To check it out, first click on the link–then be patient as it may take a few ...

Ultimately, Gaia will give us a moving, 3D model of our galaxy’s celestial choreography. With it, we can start to understand the physics underpinning this brilliant clump of gas and dust we call ...

However, the calculating power required to statistically analyze this three-dimensional galaxy data is fiendish, and so, for ...

As they continued to map the stellar velocities and the position of the M87 stars, the astronomers created a 3D view of the elliptical galaxy. This map, together with the new estimation of M87*'s ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 uses this scene as its top tier action set piece, and the third dimensional enhancements that result could be one of the best 3D scenes I’ve seen in quite a while.

Different theories of dark matter and dark energy’s physics predict different galaxy distributions, so these more detailed 3D maps of the universe should help refine theories about their properties.

Astronomers have produced the largest 3D map of the universe, including an interactive VR video. In the process, they’ve uncovered some tantalizing hints that our understanding of physics ...
