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

Astronomers have spotted a mysteriously mature “baby cluster” of galaxies in the early universe, scarcely a billion years ...

The young galaxy cluster existed about 12.8 billion years ago and has an estimated mass 20 trillion times that of the sun ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

"The knowledge of these will ultimately help us understand the formation of the first stars and planets and how our own Milky Way came into being." ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new dwarf galaxy, which received designation ...

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

New research shows weak black hole activity in red geyser galaxies prevents star formation despite ample gas, using observations of inflows, outflows, and galaxy interactions.
