Via Lactea project reveals a new view of the Milky Way
Imagine our galaxy as a huge living organism, with its own skeleton and its own evolution. The Via Lactea project, after three years of research, has put together a big database about the area of the universe that hosts our galaxy. The results of this study have been presented in Rome and they have opened boundless horizons to our knowledge of the Milky Way. Via Lactea is latin for The Milky Way. The project provides a further and deeper vision of our galaxy.
