A detailed map of dust in Milky Way

Astronomy's dirty window to space: A detailed map of dust in the Milky Way
When we observe distant celestial objects, there is a possible catch: Is that star I am observing really as reddish as it appears? Or does the star merely look reddish, since its light has had to travel through a cloud of cosmic dust to reach our telescope?
Researchers reveal 1st 3D map of properties of interstellar dust in Milky Way
Researchers have revealed the first three-dimensional (3D) map of the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way Galaxy, Xinhua News reported Friday. The breakthrough will play a crucial role in enhancing precise astronomical observations and advancing research in astrochemistry and galactic evolution.
Astronomers Unveil First 3D Map of Milky Way's Interstellar Dust
Astronomers have developed the first three-dimensional (3D) map detailing the properties of interstellar dust in the Milky Way, marking a significant breakthrough for precise astronomical observation and studies in astrochemistry and galactic evolution.
Detailed map of dust in the Milky Way
Astronomers have constructed the first detailed 3D map of the properties of cosmic dust in our home galaxy. For their map, the astronomers used 130 million spectra from ESA's Gaia mission, results from the LAMOST spectral survey,
Scientists create the most detailed 3D map of dust in the Milky Way
Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, they trained a neural network to model the dust’s effect on starlight. By applying this model to the Gaia data, they were able to map out the 3D structure of dust across the Milky Way like never before.
