Milky Way, Cosmic Dust and 3D

Astronomers Just Created the Most Detailed 3D Map of Cosmic Dust Yet
Voluminous clouds of cosmic dust permeate our galaxy, but only recently has software allowed detailed observations of the stuff at scale.
Cosmic map reveals that the Milky Way's dust has very unusual properties
Previous efforts to map the galaxy's dust were challenged by limited data, but the Gaia mission has provided a treasure trove of information.
Scientists create the most detailed 3D map of dust in the Milky Way
Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, they trained a neural network to model the dust’s effect on starlight. By applying this model to the Gaia data, they were able to map out the 3D structure of dust across the Milky Way like never before.
Astronomers Unveil First 3D Map of Milky Way's Interstellar Dust
Astronomers have developed the first three-dimensional (3D) map detailing the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way, marking a significant breakthrough for precise astronomical observation and studies in astrochemistry and galactic evolution.
Astronomers unveil 1st 3D map of Milky Way interstellar dust properties
An international of team astronomers has unveiled the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way.
Astronomy's dirty window to space: A detailed map of dust in the Milky Way
When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it appears? Or does the star merely look reddish, since its light has had to travel through a cloud of cosmic dust to reach our telescope?
