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

Astronomers are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, ...

Astronomers have discovered a tiny, ghostly galaxy in a remote corner of the universe, likely a cosmic castaway flung from ...

For more than two decades, the standard model of cosmology has stood as a reliable guide to the universe. Known as Lambda Cold Dark Matter, or ΛCDM, it weaves together dark energy, dark matter, and ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

From elegant spirals and massive ellipticals to oddball irregulars and barred beauties, here’s how stars reveal a galaxy’s ...

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

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 ...
