Astronomers rely on clear observations to study celestial objects, but cosmic dust alters what we see, making stars appear ...

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 ...

Or does the star merely look reddish, since its light has had to travel through a cloud of cosmic dust to reach our telescope? For accurate observations, astronomers need to know the amount of dust ...
