Galaxy

An international team of space experts has discovered something incredible: a galaxy with some very unusual activity going on in its core, which has led to its being reclassified. The galaxy is called PBC J2333.9-2343, but after some new research,...

Cornell University astronomers have made an incredible discovery in the first image captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a blob of light near the edge of SPT0418-47, one of the brightest star-forming galaxies from the early universe. Gravitational...

A radio signal has been picked up by astronomers from the most distant galaxy known to mankind with a unique wavelength known as the "21-centimeter line" or the "hydrogen line," emitted by neutral hydrogen atoms. The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope...

More than 200 RR Lyrae stars—distant variable stars—have been found by astronomers in the Milky Way's stellar halo. Over a million light-years separate us from the furthest of these stars. This is roughly half the distance to our nearest...

The James Webb Telescope has captured a galaxy merger; a pair of entwining galaxies crashing into one another in a new image released by NASA. The interacting galaxy system, formally known as IC 1623, lies about 270 million light-years from...

  A new map is assisting researchers demystify the universe's expansion rate with unprecedented accuracy. One that is perhaps the largest-ever revealing over fifty-six thousand galaxies. Although the night sky may look deceivingly motionless, science has it that the universe is constantly...

The stars in the distant galaxy of our Milky Way are their long-term committed relationship with each other. Yet, there is one star astrologers and scientists have identified that likes to eat its companion. Unlike the lonely sun, the...

Astronomers have identified a protogalaxy in the Milky Way in and around the constellation Sagittarius which suggests it may be our galaxy’s original nucleus. New data from the Gaia spacecraft reveal the full extent of what seems to be the...

The spiral galaxy known as NGC 1961 has been beautifully captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. From the galaxy, they are young, brilliant stars that make up this object. According to studies, NGC 1961 is located in the constellation Camelopardalis...

The sound of a black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster, which is located approximately 240 million light-years from Earth, was posted by NASA as part of what it described as a remixed sonification. According to NASA,...
