Astronomers find the most distant stars in our galaxy halfway to Andromeda
Updated : 3 weeks, 6 days ago IST
Astronomers have discovered more than 200 distant variable stars known as RR Lyrae stars in the Milky Way's stellar halo. The most distant of these stars is more than a million light-years from Earth, almost half the distance to our neighbouring galaxy, Andromeda, which is about 2.5 million

James Webb telescope reveals Milky Way-like galaxies in young universe
Updated : 1 month ago IST
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal for the first time galaxies with stellar bars, elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks, at a time when the universe was a mere 25% of its present age. The finding of so-called barred galaxies,
