Building the Spiral Structure Constructing the spiral structure is an exciting part of creating your fall herb spiral, transforming your garden space into a dynamic and organized planting area.

An accidental discovery in an astronomy show offers researchers a new clue about the mysterious Oort Cloud, a large expanse of icy bodies revolving around the sun.

A massive 673-foot observation tower has been proposed for a site in Denver’s Central Business District.

When this model was run through NASA's Pleiades supercomputer, it produced a structure for the inner part of the cloud resembling the spiral disk of the Milky Way, with the arms of this inner Oort ...

Astronomers have discovered that billions of comets in an icy shell around the solar system called the Oort Cloud mimic the spiral structure of the Milky Way.

The galaxy's location within an unusually dense region of space is posited as a contributing factor to its rapid growth and the preservation of its spiral structure.

"Our new maps nicely demonstrate that the spiral structure in the gas disk of the Milky Way is highly flocculent, and that the overall structure of the disk is complex," Dr. Craig adds.

Astronomers have observed a galaxy dating to an earlier epoch in the universe's history that surprisingly is shaped much like our Milky Way - a spiral structure with a straight bar of stars and ...

The spiral structure is further maintained by the higher density of gas and dust in the arms, which triggers star production within the arms.

The spiral structure appeared over Maunakea on January 18, Screenshot: Gizmodo/Subaru Telescope Last week, astronomers at a Hawaiian observatory spotted a spiral-like structure over Maunakea. A ...

The spiral structure, visible here behind the sun in a scene from the show, surprised scientists and animators when they saw it projected on the planetarium's dome during preproduction.
