Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy.
Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe's ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas between galaxies.
The record-breaking galaxy is revealing secrets about the first stars and their unexpected chemical fingerprints.
The moment one galaxy spears another with a powerful beam of radiation shooting from its central black hole has been spotted in a distant galactic collision.
A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, straight structure filled with stars across the galaxy's center. It was formed just 2.6 billion years after the Big Bang.
Most of the lights in the new JWST-Hubble composite image are not bright stars, but galaxies, stretching back almost as far across space-time as the beginning of the Universe.
In a new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a galaxy named for its resemblance to a broad-brimmed Mexican hat appears more like an archery target.
Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began science operations, astronomers have observed galaxies that existed more than 13 billion years ago.
A team of researchers at Nagoya University has discovered evidence that the Small Magellanic Cloud is potentially being torn apart by gravitational forces from its larger companion.
A massive black hole at the heart of a galaxy in the Virgo constellation is waking up, shooting out intense X-ray flares at regular intervals that have puzzled scientists
For a long time, scientists thought that only actively star-forming galaxies should be observed in the very early Universe. The James Webb space telescope now reveals that galaxies stopped forming stars earlier than expected.
When you peer out into the depths of the cosmos, a mystery lies there, waiting. In a survey of the deep sky, most of the galaxies are seen rotating in the same direction.
JWST have revealed an exceptionally large galaxy in the early universe. It’s a cosmic giant whose light has travelled over 12 billion years to reach us. We’ve dubbed it the Big Wheel.
Located 2.5 million light-years away, the majestic Andromeda galaxy appears to the naked eye as a faint, spindle-shaped object roughly the angular size of the full Moon.
Using the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope, astronomers have accidentally found a complete Einstein ring around a nearby galaxy known as NGC 6505.
