Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

As their name suggests, ultradiffuse galaxies, or UDGs, are dwarf galaxies whose stars are spread out over a vast region, resulting in extremely low surface brightness, making them very difficult to ...

The Hubble and Chandra space telescopes are hunting for rogue black holes wandering through dwarf galaxies, which could provide a fossil record of how supermassive black hole growth in the early ...

Computer simulations show that the standard model of cosmology isn’t, in fact, broken. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Breaking ...

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

Researchers analyzing distant galaxies that show up in the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope found an array of odd shapes when the universe ...

(via Dr. Becky) Wherever we look in the Universe we see spiral galaxies. 70% of all galaxies today have this spiral structure that show up in their stars and their gas that’s used to make more stars.

Columbia researchers analyzing images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found that galaxies in the early universe are often flat and elongated, like breadsticks—and are rarely round, like ...

Supermassive black holes appear to be more powerful than our theories suggest, blasting the gas that surrounds galaxies much further away than expected. This finding could help explain several ...
