Webb reveals a bridge of stars linking two nearby dwarf galaxies, offering a look at how gravity reshapes galaxies and sparks ...

Observations of ultra-massive galaxies, each containing more than 100 billion stars, show that less than 2 billion years ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess only a single evolutionary pathway; instead, depending on the nature of its ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is turning the Milky Way inside out, exposing the buried engines that actually drive our galaxy’s star production. By peering through dust, resolving crowded stellar ...

Astronomers are drawing attention to a Christmas Tree-shaped cluster of stars glowing inside one of the Milky Way’s most ...

Fresh research has cast doubt on the theory that energetic outbursts from young stars blows away the cocoon of gas from which they formed, which in turn prevents them from growing any further. The ...

Black holes are the closest things we have left to mythological monsters — the “Here be dragons” warning of our cosmological maps. The supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies deserve ...

Our lives happen in the blink of an eye compared to the course of a star’s lifetime. Now, a team of scientists have developed a realistic and colorfully stunning simulation of what just the beginning ...

An international team of astronomers has uncovered multiple evolutionary paths for the universe's most massive galaxies. Observations of ultramassive galaxies, each containing more than 100 billion ...
