Fall 2025: Updates to MW3D in-process! Stay tuned + visit LIVE Environments to learn more.
Researchers worldwide contribute to, and use, MilkyWay3D resources in order to improve our understanding of the Milky Way's origins, workings, and future.
We combine data and software that can offer myriad views of the MIlky Way, as best we know it. The software is built using the LIVE Environments exploratory data analysis tools.
Using the same data and tools as researchers, educators and learners of all ages can explore and study the Galaxy in which we all live.
MilkyWay3D's open science premise: Data + Software + People + Computing + Physics = Understanding, Learning, and Discovery
