Astronomers are closer than ever to working out how the biggest galaxies in the cosmos grew so quickly before dying.

Astronomers have clocked a cosmic collision at 3.2 million km/h (2 million mph). A new instrument has spotted a galaxy ...

Ultimately, Gebhardt and other astronomers hope to use AI to probe one of the big questions looming in the night sky: Why ...

Distant, ancient galaxies are giving scientists more hints that a mysterious force called dark energy may not be what they ...

For decades, scientists have used the Milky Way as a model for understanding how galaxies form. But three new studies raise ...

INAF/VST-SMASH/C. Tortora et al. (2024) A gorgeous new set of images shows the striking sight of nearby galaxies, captured by a telescope called the VLT Survey Telescope (VST), located at the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered surprisingly large and bright early galaxies. This discovery challenges the traditional understanding of galaxy formation and dark matter's role.

CLEVELAND—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 ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts ...

Read the paper: Preferential occurrence of fast radio bursts in massive star-forming galaxies Between February 2022 and November 2023, Sharma and colleagues determined the host galaxies of 26 FRBs ...
