In a significant stride for cosmic evolution studies, astronomers have unveiled a galaxy that is churning out stars at a ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

A galaxy in a practically empty area of the universe seems to be impossibly forming stars, and new observations have only ...

The current rate of star formation at the Galactic Center appears to be lower than in the rest of the Galaxy. A new study led ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

In a feat of galactic archeology, astronomers are using ever more detailed information to trace the origin of our galaxy—and to learn about how other galaxies formed in the early stages of the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...
