A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the ...

The discovery of a rare runaway galaxy suggests some isolated systems were shaped by past group interactions before being ...

Using the wide-field survey capabilities of the Subaru Telescope, astronomers discovered active supermassive black holes, or quasars, in the distant universe and then studied them with the James Webb ...

Astronomers using the Webb Telescope detect a faint smudge that may be the first galaxy, or a nearby impostor, named ...

Astronomers using the Webb Telescope may have found a new type of object: cold, glowing black hole stars from the early ...

A team of researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover 12 ancient black holes from 12.9 billion years ago.

In the early Universe, long before they should have had time to grow, astronomers have found what they're calling 'red monsters': three large galaxies, almost as big as the Milky Way. It's a ...

Mapping the Universe’s vast structure no longer requires endless supercomputer time. Effort.jl brings cosmic modeling to ...

When the "little red dots" were first discovered in 2022, scientists thought the objects might be galaxies as mature as the Milky Way, which is about 13.6 billion years old. That's because galaxies ...

The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow bigger and bigger until they become the giant galaxies we see in the modern ...

Astronomers use many methods to determine this number, including gravitational lensing, the universe’s expansion rate, and more.
