The European Space Agency has published on Wednesday a map of the Milky Way that contains more than 1 billion stars as part of a project to create a 3D map of the galaxy.

The Big Bang theory is the scientifically accepted view as to how the world came into existence around 13,8 billion years ago. Now scientists are suggesting we could be heading for a dramatic cosmic end: the Big Rip! The new theoretical model claims that as the universe expands, so do all elements like galaxies, planets, atomic particles and space time itself.

Launched in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has already sent us wondrous pictures seemingly derived from sci-fi movies. Little grains of the universe’s majesty which have been revealed to humans thanks to the endeavors of science.

Astronomers using the ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile managed to look into the face of Medusa and give the world a clear image into the incredible ancient starburst.

British astronomers discovered nine unknown “dwarf galaxies”, satellites to our own. This discovery enriches our galactic neighborhood. This is the largest number of nearby galaxies that have ever been discovered en masse. This is also the first discovery of dwarf galaxies for a decade.

A galaxy cluster is a cosmic leviathan, a conglomeration of hundreds of thousands of galaxies bound together by gravity. It’s also a cosmic mystery.

With the title “A galaxy cluster with a high birth rate” a report explains the cosmic mystery, which is due to stellar low birth rate.

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured our cosmos at its most colorful.
