Located only 56 million light-years away in Ursa Major, NGC 4102 gives astronomers a nearby target to study how these active ...

In an unprecedented leap forward in our understanding of the universe’s origins, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially identified the earliest galaxy ever observed. This galaxy ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

The Vera Rubin Observatory (VRO) hasn't yet begun its much-anticipated Legacy Survey of Space and Time. But it saw its first ...

Astronomers have unveiled the largest low-frequency radio color image of the Milky Way ever created, offering a sprawling, interactive cosmic panorama with unprecedented detail.

A class of University of Texas astronomy students has discovered that nearby dwarf galaxy Segue-1 seems to host a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

As a result, gas from M81 has found its way into M82's center, spurring an uptick in star formation despite the galaxy's ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...
