The Milky Way's interstellar medium—that is, the dust and gas that threads between our galaxy's billions of stars—is an abundant yet elusive material. That means the latest image from NASA's ...

The heliosphere, a cosmic bubble formed by the Sun, protects our solar system from interstellar threats and influences life's ...

We can probe the ionized interstellar medium through imaging and timing observations of compact radio sources. As the radio waves pass through the interstellar medium, they are distorted and delayed ...

Together they form the heliosphere within the surrounding local interstellar medium – the plasma, neutral particles and dust that fill the space between stars and their respective astrospheres.

Beijing: An international team of astronomers has unveiled the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way. This breakthrough will provide critical support ...

This introduction to the spectroscopy, mainly by radio astronomy, of interstellar molecules was written five years before the discovery of C60. It covers an introduction to interstellar medium and ...

The interstellar medium — the matter and radiation in the space between stars — is crucial for the Milky Way's material cycle and star formation. Most elements heavier than hydrogen and helium ...
