Collision helped make the Milky Way — and now we know when
Thanks to some astrophysical sleuthing, researchers have pinpointed the 11.5 billion-year-old galactic merger that helped shape our Milky Way.
Research & Collections
Our researchers’ innovations and groundbreaking medical and scientific discoveries are expanding human knowledge and helping to improve the human condition.
At the same time, other campus innovators are harnessing technology to ensure that the university’s vast collections of cultural and scientific artifacts are both accessible around the globe today and preserved for future generations.
Many of these treasures — which hail from across the ages and around the globe — are on public view in our museums, galleries, and libraries; still others are available in digital detail on the Internet.
