When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it ...

Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results ...

Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, they trained a neural network to model the dust’s effect on starlight ...

Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove ...
