Sitting like a bead on a cosmic thread, Australian astronomers have identified our galaxy's position in the large scale structure of the cosmos. Dr Stefan Keller from the Research School of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the Australian National University and colleagues made the discovery while studying ancient balls of tightly packed stars called globular clusters.

What would the Milky Way look like during a sandstorm? Last month, photographer Terje Sorgjerd captured this scenario while on El Teide in the Canary Islands (see video above). His goal was to photograph the Milky Way galaxy from Spain's highest mountain, one of the best places in the world to see the stars. But in the middle of the night, he encountered a sandstorm that had made its way from the Sahara desert.
