Scientists have discovered a giant black hole that they believe may have been formed in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. The black hole is so huge that it may change our understanding of ...

This intermediate spiral galaxy spans roughly 65,000 light-years—about half our own galaxy’s width, yet every bit as dynamic. At its core lurks a supermassive black hole weighing between 3 and 10 ...

Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic ...

A maelstrom of star formation close to the center of our galaxy has been revealed in two different wavelengths by the James ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

A groundbreaking discovery has reshaped our perception of how fast galaxies evolved in the early universe. Astronomers have detected oxygen in the light from the galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0, the most ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

What was the universe like in the first few hundreds of millions of years after it came into existence? How did the first stars and galaxies form? Those are questions that astronomers now have a ...

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 not confirming ...

A team of astronomers from Yonsei University and collaborating institutions has uncovered an isolated early-type dwarf galaxy that may have been ejected from its galactic group billions of years ago.
