Telescopes like the James Webb Space Telescope can now observe distant galaxies as they appeared more than 12 billion years ago. Those observations show us galaxies directly during the same era in ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has discovered evidence that our galaxy experienced a significant collision and merger with a dwarf galaxy 11.8 billion years ago. Mergers between galaxies are one of the ...

Astronomers have discovered the first confirmed dual active galactic nucleus in a Green Pea galaxy, revealing two ...

In a first, astronomers say they’ve detected a long ribbon of stars outside the Milky Way. The globular cluster stellar stream could reveal clues about dark matter.

From the Pillars of Creation to distant galaxies, explore seven spectacular images captured by Hubble and the James Webb ...

A galaxy simulation shows that nuclear star clusters and nuclear stellar disks can grow together as a stellar bar funnels gas ...

BEIJING -- Chinese researchers have identified widespread corrugated structures in the Milky Way for the first time, offering fresh observational evidence for understanding the galaxy's ...

Astronomers have found evidence that the proportion of large and small stars varies with the environment where those stars ...

Astronomers found that star clusters do not always form the same balance of small and large stars, challenging a long-standing assumption used to measure galaxies. Gaia data show that a key dividing ...

A new Milky Way-like galaxy simulation has revealed that nuclear star clusters and nuclear stellar disks can form together ...

Using an advanced galaxy simulation, a Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP)-led research team gained new insights ...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) has announced its 20th public data release (DR20), delivering a dramatic expansion of ...
