A galaxy cluster over 6 billion light years away. Peering back in time to when the universe was younger than the Earth is now, the images span the period from around twelve billion years ago until one ...

Recently, the field of astronomy has made a remarkable discovery—scientists have observed a vast ionized gas cloud in the ...

The largest sample of galaxy groups ever detected has been presented by a team of international astronomers using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in an area of the sky called COSMOS ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time. While most ...

For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

The small red objects discovered by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) provide scientists with new insights into the origins of galaxies in the universe and may represent a completely new type ...

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 ...

New computer simulations suggest the first magnetic fields that emerged after the Big Bang were much weaker than expected — ...

If you think a galaxy is big, compare it to the size of the universe: it's just a tiny dot which, together with a huge number ...
