The galaxy NGC 6789 viewed through a 2-meter twin telescope Ignacio Trujillo et al. 2025 Approximately 12 million light years from Earth lies an unusual galaxy.…
Light travels at a finite speed, meaning it takes time to cover vast distances. Astronomers leverage this to investigate ancient epochs in the universe’s history by…
Black Holes Are Exceptionally Potent Matter Distributors NASA Image Collection/Alamy A surprisingly violent black hole may have triggered the enigma of the elusive cosmic material. Mysterious…
An international team of astronomers, as part of the Widefield Askap L-Band Legacy All-Sky Survey (Wallaby), observed DDO 137 (Wallaby J123424+062511). Their findings uncovered a vast…
Among the four fundamental forces in the universe, gravity often comes to mind when considering cosmic phenomena. This is quite logical, as gravity operates over vast…
Abel 209 is an expansive galactic cluster situated approximately 2.8 billion light years from the constellations of Cetus. This Hubble image illustrates Abell 209, a galactic…
As part of the Cristal (CII solved ISM with Star Forming Galaxies using Alma) Investigation, astronomers examined the universe when it was merely a billion years…
Modern disk galaxies frequently display distinct thin and thick disks. The mechanisms driving the formation of these two discs and the timeline of their emergence are…
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of UGC 11397, the Barred Spiral Galaxy, which houses a rapidly growing, supermassive black hole. The Hubble image…
A new study by computational astrophysicist Ethan Nadler from the University of California, San Diego, shows that star formation can occur at halos in the solar…
It’s similar to how paleontologists use certain known fossils Indexed Fossil Until assessing rock formations and ancient environments so far, astronomers look for specific patterns of…
2MASX J23453268-0449256 (J2345-0449 for short), a very huge, rapidly spinning, jet lag spiral galaxy with approximately 947 million light years in the Aquarius constellation, a mass…
Astronomers using Atacama’s Large Millimeter/Sub-Millimeter Array (ALMA) detected oxygen in the most perilous confirmed galaxy ever discovered. This detection, made by two different teams, suggests that…
Galactic sea photographed by the Euclidean Space TelescopeESA/Euclid/Euclid Consortium/NASA, J.-C. Image processing by Cuillandre, E. Bertin, G. Anselmi The extraordinary image from the Euclidean Space Telescope…
The new NASA Observatory was launched into space on Tuesday with a mission that would help scientists unravel what happened in the first fraction one second…
The ARP 105 features star and gas tide tails that exceed 362,000 light years. The elliptical galaxy NGC 3561B (top left) and the Spiral Galaxy NGC…
The new NASA Space Observatory is set to launch into orbit on Thursday with a crucial mission to map over 450 million galaxies. The Spherex mission,…
The newly discovered galaxy, called the Firefly Radiance, existed about 600 million years after the Big Bang and consisted of at least 10 star clusters. The…
The Standard Model predicted that the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope would observe a faint signal from a small protogalaxy. However, the common hypothesis that invisible…
This amazing new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope is one of the best ever of a galaxy combination called MCG+05-31-045. This Hubble image shows…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are millisecond-long events detected from beyond the Milky Way. The radiative properties of FRBs favor magnetars as their source, as evidenced by…
in paper Announced today Astronomical JournalThe astronomers analysed the evolution of giant galaxies at redshifts 4 to 8 selected from the JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Emission…
The recent focus in news has been on the progress of artificial intelligence (AI) in the past couple of years. ChatGPT and DALL·E are examples of…
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured an excellent image of the spiral galaxy ESO 422-41 in the constellation Columba. This Hubble image shows…
This stunning view of a pair of spiral galaxies called Arp 72 is a violent collision occurring in slow motion, according to the Hubble team. This…
Reionization of the universe happened about 500 million to 900 million years after the Big Bang. This represents the transformation of neutral hydrogen into an ionized…
New insights from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope overturn theories about how black holes shape the universe, reversing the classical theory that black holes formed…
The Hubble team has released a stunning photo of the face-on spiral galaxy ESO 420-13 taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This Hubble image shows…
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has taken new photos of the relatively small galaxy UGC 5189A in the constellation Leo. This Hubble image shows UGC 5189A,…
Artist's impression of the path of a fast radio burst (not to scale) FRB 20220610AM. Kohnmesser/European Southern Observatory The unexplained flash of radio waves that reached…
This cosmic encounter is known as Arp 122, and here: NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Two spiral galaxies, NGC 6040 and NGC 6039, have merged on the…
New infrared images taken with wide field camera 3 (WFC3) onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows dozens of galaxies in the constellation Cetus, including SDSS…
A University of Michigan astronomer, Sally Ooi, led a study on the star-forming regions of the host galaxy NGC 2366, a typical dwarf irregular galaxy. This…
Astrophysicists have discovered why spiral galaxies like the Milky Way are rare in the supergalactic plane, a dense region of our local universe. The study, led…
This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows MCG-01-24-014. It is a spiral galaxy with an active galactic nucleus located 275 million light-years away and is…
Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discover that most early galaxies from about 12 billion years ago had more glowing gas than stars due…
