While scientists discovered the Cosmic Vine using the James Webb Space Telescope, they have yet to find a string of galaxies ...

A galaxy in the early universe was rich with oxygen, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how early ...

The universe's first galaxies were hot messes, according to a recent study. During their younger days, they were wild, chaotic bundles of turbulent gas, churned up by huge gulps of intergalactic gas, ...

Study reveals that the Euclid telescope may be underestimating the number of barred galaxies due to limitations in its images ...

The local universe may be expanding more slowly than previously thought, a discovery that could relieve a pesky discrepancy ...

A new study has found that a hidden bias in galaxy models can skew gravitational-wave measurements of how fast the universe is expanding. That finding complicates one of astronomy’s most promising ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion ...

Mysterious blasts of radio waves from across the universe called fast radio bursts help astronomers catalog matter. ESO/M. Kornmesser, CC BY-SA Chris Impey, University of Arizona If you look across ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Astronomers have uncovered a hidden cosmic web of galaxies and gas by mapping hydrogen light from the early universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy in just two years of operations, but how can it see a galaxy 33.8 billion light-years away in a universe that is only 13.8 billion years old ...

Counting all the galaxies in the universe is hard. So hard, it seems, that it's possible to miss billions of them. A new analysis of Hubble Space Telescope data finds there are almost 10 times more ...
