Scientists have located a galaxy that gives births to more stars in a day than ours does in a year. Astronomers used NASA's Chandra X-Ray telescope to spot this distant gigantic galaxy creating about 740 new stars a year. By comparison, our Milky Way galaxy spawns just about one new star each year.

Hubble space telescope observations suggest that another large galaxy will collide with our own Milky Way in about 4 billion years.

Scientists have discovered the first planet from another galaxy, sort of. While some 500 planets have been identified in other parts of our galaxy — the Milky Way— none has been reported in other galaxies.

Scientists discovered two bubbles of energy erupting from the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
