Astronomers produce the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.

Astronomer and Queen guitarist Brian May teams up with astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson to bring the cosmos to 3D.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a rare jellyfish galaxy 8.5 billion light-years from Earth, offering a pristine look at how cosmic environments violently shut down ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

Astronomers used subtle warps in galaxy shapes to map the invisible forces shaping the universe. By reanalyzing years of telescope images, they studied more than 100 million galaxies across an ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity streaming long, tentacle-like trails of gas and newborn stars as it speeds ...

Astronomers utilizing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a new class of galaxies that defy traditional cosmic categorization. This unexpected discovery, highlighted in a recent ...

Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a 1.6 million light-year galactic tail — the largest of its kind ever seen.

Findings from a Rochester Institute of Technology study provide further evidence that the outskirts of spiral galaxies host massive black holes. These overlooked regions are new places to observe ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy in just two years of operations, but how can it see a galaxy 33.8 billion light-years away in a universe that is only 13.8 billion years old ...
