A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies ...

The stars in our galaxy exhibit a curious chemical division, but is this the norm in the Universe? A recent study shows that ...

The James Webb Space Telescope caught a glimpse of these violent bundles of gas and stars. The universe's first galaxies were hot messes, according to a recent study. During their younger days, they ...

A monster galaxy from the early universe shows that the cosmos was rich with oxygen when it was only less than 3% of its present age, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how ...

Earth and our entire Milky Way galaxy may sit inside a mysterious giant hole which makes the cosmos expand faster here than in neighboring regions of the universe, astronomers say. Their theory is a ...

In a groundbreaking studypublished in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, astronomers have uncovered a puzzling cosmic observation that challenges our understanding of the ...

A remote galaxy shining with the light of more than 300 trillion Suns has been discovered using data from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The galaxy is the most luminous found to ...

Understanding the gas from which stars form is a fundamental goal in astrophysics. This is a pressing issue for pristine galaxies — those low in heavy elements, known as metals — whose growth remains ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed yet another marvel from deep in outer space. A galaxy named MoM-z14 has taken the title of most distant galaxy the telescope has captured. It is a ...

Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies. These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help ...
