Detection of large-scale X-ray bubbles in the Milky Way halo
Nature, 2020The halo of the Milky Way provides a laboratory to study the properties of the shocked hot gas that is predicted by models of galaxy formation. There is observational evidence of energy injection into the halo from past activity in the nucleus of the ...

Our understanding of the large-scale structure of the Milky Way has undergone considerable revision during the past few years. The Galaxy is larger and much more massive than was previously supposed; the newly discovered mass consists of nonluminous matter which is likely to be the dominant form of matter in the universe.

Most of us are familiar with the Milky Way. We may be lucky enough to live in a dark location and can see the misty band of light that stretches across the sky (see Fig. 1.1). Others may live in an urban location and so can only glimpse the Milky Way as a faint hazy patch that envelopes several constellations.

Detection of the Milky Way reflex motion due to the Large Magellanic Cloud infall
Nature Astronomy, 2020The Large Magellanic Cloud is the most massive satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, with an estimated mass exceeding a tenth of the mass of the Milky Way1–5.

The Evolution of the Milky way
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1999A two-dimensional chemodynamical model of the Milky Way Galaxy is presented that can account for the structural, kinematical, and chemical pecularities of the galactic components in a self-consistent way. The dynamics of three stellar components and the multi-phase interstellar medium consisting of clouds and intercloud gas are followed in detail. Mass

Nature, 1947 WRITERS on astronomical subjects find it comparatively easy to give a popular or semi-popular description of such a parochial affair as the solar system, but not so easy to provide a similar description of the Galaxy. The book under notice is undoubtedly the best of the semi-popular type that has been produced on this subject, and it presents the ...

There are few celestial sights that will elicit such a raw and primal emotion within you as seeing the Milky Way from a dark sky site. It, like totality of a solar or lunar eclipse, leaves you in complete awe and wonderment. Unfortunately, it is difficult in North America to find truly dark skies to see our home galaxy.
