Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the ...

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 ...

When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it ...

Astronomers rely on clear observations to study celestial objects, but cosmic dust alters what we see, making stars appear ...

Despite having recently officially ended its science operations in January, Gaia, one of the most prolific star explorers ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...

Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, they trained a neural network to model the dust’s effect on starlight ...

Credit: ESA/Gaia/DPAC We now have the most detailed catalogue of stars in our Milky Way galaxy yet. The new map -- created using data collected by the Gaia satellite -- shows about 1.7 billion ...

Astronomers have developed the first three-dimensional (3D) map detailing the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky ...

As astronomers peer through telescopes across the cosmos, dust clouds may distort the light from distant objects, altering observations.

And Hipparcos was kind of like a proto-Gaia. It was doing the same thing—it was trying to map the Milky Way—but it had a much smaller number of stars it was looking at. It couldn’t look ...

The three-dimensional map that Gaia created, helps to write the history ... the Gaia projects is to analyze data for the most common stars in the Milky Way. Uppsala University has a 40-year ...
