The largest amount of astronomical chemical data ever collected on the Milky Way will soon provide answers about the history of the universe says an Australian-led project at the Australian Astronomical Observatory at Siding Spring in rural New South Wales.
Astronomers from the ARC Centre of Excellence in All Sky Astrophysics in 3 Dimensions (ASTRO 3D) working on the Galactic Archaeology with HERMES (GALAH) project have released data from their investigation into star formation, chemical enrichment, migration and mergers in the Milky Way.
