Image: Snapshots of the time evolution of a collision of two spiral galaxies with black holes at their center from a computer simulation. Color indicates temperature and brightness the gas density.

A new simulation released by NASA’s Ames Research Institute reveals a stunning vision of the evolution of a galaxy. Blue influx gases, white stars and red satellite galaxies are shown moving thousands ...

In collaboration with the US' Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers from Maynooth University in Ireland have unveiled a new computer simulation that mirrors early universe conditions, ...

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 ...

In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the magnetism and ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

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 ...

A new study shows how Milky Way chemical tracks emerge from shifting star formation and gas supply, reshaping ideas about the ...

An international research team has used the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array to observe the most distant galaxy protocluster to date, 13.14 billion light ...

Just as the sun has planets and the planets have moons, our galaxy has satellite galaxies, and some of those might have smaller satellite galaxies of their own. To wit, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC ...
