Milky Way Galaxy 3d Map

The second dataset in 2018 allowed astronomers to show that the milky way merged with another galaxy in a violent. Several globular clusters appear as tiny dots in the image, such as 47 tucanae, the dark dot on the immediate left of the smc. The colour indicates the stellar metallicity.

With this data release, gaia is revealing the largest chemical map of the galaxy coupled to 3d motions, from our solar neigbourhood to smaller galaxies surrounding ours. The gaia mission to create the most accurate 3d map of the milky way ever has.

Using infrared images from nasa's spitzer space telescope, scientists have discovered that the milky way's elegant spiral structure is dominated by just two arms wrapping off the ends of a central bar of stars.

Radial velocity and proper motion. Initially, the local stars around the sun are shown, color coded depending whether they are cool red stars or hot blue ones. The gaia mission to create the most accurate 3d map of the milky way ever has. Milky way's secrets revealed by massive space probe map.
