In the science fiction series Stargate SG-1, the Asgard are a highly advanced and benevolent race from another galaxy, called Ida. The Asgard have visited Earth on many occasions, giving rise to the Norse legends, as well as becoming the infamous Roswell Aliens. They were part of the Alliance of Four Great Races. They are among the most advanced races in the Stargate universe, rivaled only by the Ori, Nox, and possibly Furlings, and largely succeeded the deceased and ascended Ancients in technological advancement, and in turn have been succeeded by the Tau'ri, to whom they have passed on all of their knowledge.
