Recent astronomical research indicates that our Earth may be embedded within one of the largest known structures in the ...

An artist’s impression of the “Cosmic Grapes” galaxy, composed of at least 15 massive star-forming clumps—far more than current theoretical models predict could exist within a single rotating disk at ...

A group of young astronomers has captured something few people ever get to see: a planet in the middle of its own creation. The discovery, made using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large ...

How exactly did the universe start and how did these processes determine its formation and evolution? This is what a study published in Physical Review Research hopes to address as a team of ...

Star formation happens everywhere in the universe, but seeing it clearly requires the right tools-and Hubble just proved its H-alpha detection capabilities can map stellar nurseries with surgical ...

Japanese researchers have proposed that immense gas streams may explain how high-mass stars manage to grow despite releasing powerful stellar winds and radiation that should otherwise halt their ...

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have spotted 300 mysterious objects that may be some of the universe’s earliest galaxies. If confirmed, their existence could reshape our ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology.

Astronomers may have uncovered the origins of the mysterious “little red dots,” some of the strangest galaxies seen in the early universe. These tiny but brilliant objects, discovered by the James ...
