Unveiling hidden stars in the Milky Way with stellar orbital mapping
Tuesday, 24 December 2024 09:16
A research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has pioneered a method to reconstruct the Milky Way's structure by mapping the orbits of stars. This approach reveals a deeper understanding of the galaxy's evolution and the distribution of stellar populations.
Despite advances in observational astronomy, much of the Milky Way remains hidden due to the obscuring e New commercial Artemis moon rovers undergo testing at NASA
