An uncharted region of space known as the "zone of avoidance" lurks behind the Milky Way's center – and astronomers just found an enormous, multi-galaxy structure there.

The region is known as the Zone of Avoidance, and it happens to be in the general direction of the galactic center. Our view ...

The area this creates is called the Zone of Avoidance, and it covers about 20 percent of the sky visible from Earth. It prevents us from seeing into much of the Milky Way in detail, ...

In the zone of avoidance, which makes up 10-20 percent of the sky visible from Earth, visible light is blocked by the vast clouds of gas and dust located through the plane of the Milky Way.Other ...

Our view of the cosmos is always limited by the fact we are located within a galaxy filled with interstellar gas and dust. This is most dramatically seen in the central region of the Milky Way, which ...

Space Centre of our galaxy has a 'zone of avoidance' and we don't know why. The stars that orbit close to the Milky Way's supermassive black hole are already tough to explain – but there also ...

The area, known as the "zone of avoidance," harbors an enormous extragalactic cluster of at least 58 galaxies, according to a new study, published in the preprint database arXiv.org.

The no-no zone. The Great Attractor wouldn’t be that big of a mystery except for an exceptionally unlucky coincidence. By the late 1970s, astronomers had become particularly adept at building ...

This phantom region, known as the zone of avoidance, is a blank spot on our map of the universe, comprising somewhere between 10% and 20% of the night sky.The reason we can't see it — at least ...
