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.

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 ...

The article discusses the data from the Gaia spacecraft used by the European Space Agency (ESA) to develop a three-dimensional (3-D) map of the Milky Way galaxy, referencing an article coauthored by project scientist Jos de Bruijne in the "Astronomy & Astrophysics" journal.

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.

The article focuses on the development of a map of the Milky Way galaxy from the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft. It states the dataset provides a preliminary position of one billion stars and the sideways motions and distances of the brightest two million stars in the sky.

The Mass distribution of the Galaxy is reasonably well understood. Out to a radius of at least 200kpc, the enclosed mass increases roughly linearly with radius at about 10(10)M(circle dot) per kpc. The inner mass distribution is inconsistent with what we know to be present in stars and gas.

As set out in the Wakefield Memorandum, the financial administration of the Lucky Hill Scheme appeared to be simple and straightforward. In actual fact it proved to be cumbersome and unwieldy and long undue delays in financial matters nearly wrecked the scheme.

We intend to draw the course of the Milky Way between the stars. This observation has to be made on a clear night, in the field, at least 5 km from the outskirts of the city. The moon is disturbing and so are street lights even at considerable distances. Our pocket lamps must give very subdued light.

William Herschel discovered in 1783 that the Sun and solar system were moving towards the star λ Herculis (with celestial coordinates of 17 h 31 min, or 263°, right ascension and +26° declination), by analysing the proper motions of 13 stars. During the nineteenth century, a number of other astronomers made further measurements of stellar proper ...
