Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

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

Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.

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

Scientists have created the highest resolution map of the dark matter that threads through the universe—showing its influence ...

Researchers have created a high-resolution map of dark matter, the 'invisible scaffolding of the Universe', showing its ...

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

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.

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, ...

This new map is not only the most detailed view of the universe’s invisible scaffolding to date, it also allows astronomers to look deeper into cosmic history.

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
