Behind the dusty clouds of the Cigar Galaxy lies a dazzling powerhouse of star formation, where stars are being born ten ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has made an extraordinary discovery, spotting a galaxy forming some 13 billion years ago. This breakthrough provides invaluable insights into the universe’s earliest ...

For several years, the astronomers have been intrigued by the compact and luminous galaxies observed in great number in the remote Universe. They are dwarf by their sizes, and however radiate ten to ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

"It's an elegant answer, really, because we thought it was a tiny galaxy full of many separate cold stars, but it's actually, ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help scientists better understand our Milky Way galaxy's less sparkly ...

Sometimes, Hubble or other telescopes will capture two or more galaxies that are in the process of merging — called interacting galaxies. These huge collisions can warp one or both of the galaxies, ...

Metallicity distribution of the first supernovae at 10 million years after the explosion. The supernova ejecta (orange region) has expanded to a radius of 1 kpc and enriched the surrounding gas to ...

This illustration provided by the European Southern Observatory in February 2024, depicts the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive ...

"We know these monster black holes exist at the center of galaxies near our Milky Way, but the big surprise now is that they were present at the beginning of the universe." When you purchase through ...
