The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international ...

Discover seven unusual galaxies defying scientific predictions, from impossibly bright early universe objects to astrophysics ...

What: New analyses using early observations from the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission examine how galaxy mergers trigger active galactic nuclei (AGN), luminou ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

Look at this new radio image covered with dots, each of which is a distant galaxy! The brightest spots are galaxies that are powered by supermassive black holes and shine bright in radio light. But ...

New radio observations of molecular gas reveal how dozens of galaxies could have rapidly merged together in the early ...
