Researchers are nearing a breakthrough in understanding the formation of the universe's largest galaxies.

Meanwhile, further discoveries and detailed spectroscopic observations of highly magnified galaxies in the early Universe will help to answer the question of how the first galaxies formed.

Protogalaxies as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (NASA via Courthouse News). (CN) — When astronomers started looking at new images of the deep universe obtained from the James Webb Space ...

Astronomers close to solving mystery of how universe's giant galaxies formed Date: December 5, 2024 Source: University of Southampton Summary: Astrophysicists find the birth sites of gigantic ...

The Universe may not have started with the Big Bang, but instead “bounced” out of a massive black hole formed within a larger “parent” universe, according to a new scientific paper.

That cosmologists cannot agree on one of the most elementary facts about the universe is striking enough. But that uncertainty produces others, too: it makes it impossible to calculate an exact age ...

The James Webb Space Telescope spotted a twin of the Milky Way in the depths of the universe. The galaxy formed shortly after the Big Bang, which was thought to be impossible. This could mean ...

The new study of galaxies, centered around a value for cosmic lumpiness known as S8, could join the Hubble tension in dethroning our best picture of how the universe evolved.

Infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope helped astronomers study the ages of different-shaped galaxies around our universe.

The early universe To understand the nature of the current tension and its possible solutions, it is important to understand how structure in the universe formed and subsequently evolved.
