EXPERTS believe they may finally have pinpointed the edge of the Milky Way after analysing a whopping 100,000 stars. In ...
Astronomers may have finally put a number on one of our galaxy’s slipperiest questions: where the Milky Way’s physical boundary really ends.
The "edge" can be defined as the star-forming region, and in their paper, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, they very ...
For the first time, an international team of astronomers has identified a clear boundary of the Milky Way's star-forming disk ...

Starbirth shuts down 40,000 light-years from the Milky Way's core — and astronomers don't know why
Astronomers have found the boundary of star formation in the Milky Way's spiral disk — and it's not as far out from the ...
The Milky Way does not come with a clean outer line. Its disc does not stop the way a coastline does. It fades, becoming ...
Astronomers have unveiled the Vela-Banzi Supercluster, a vast structure hidden behind the Milky Way’s dense disk, stretching 300 million light-years and containing at least 20 galaxy clusters. Using ...
The Milky Way may not have a sharp edge, but scientists have now found where its star-forming activity largely comes to an ...
Astronomers have precisely located the Milky Way’s star-forming boundary, identifying a sharp drop in new star creation about 35,000 to 40,000 light-years from the galactic center. Using stellar age ...
