The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this ...

Mizzou scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope found unusual "platypus galaxies" that could change what we know ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

A team of Japanese astronomers from the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Tokyo University, and Kyoto University in Japan obtained infrared and high-resolution images of galaxies from 11 ...

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 -- ...

A whole universe of hidden galaxies lies just beyond what the eye can see. Thanks to a new generation of space telescopes, astronomers are now revealing these distant, dim worlds—some no bigger than a ...

"Imagine that you shoot a cloud with a gun; the energy of the bullet can be as large as you wish, and the cloud won't care. Yet we see less clouds of gas where there are black holes." When you ...

Scientists at the University of Missouri have identified a small group of unusual objects in the early universe. Using NASA's ...

Look up at the night sky and it is easy to believe that stars and galaxies are where the universe keeps almost all of its substance. Precision measurements of the cosmos tell a different story. Most ...

Edwin Hubble, born November 20, 1889, made seminal observations in 1923 of the Andromeda Galaxy and a Cepheid variable, which significantly broadened the understanding of other galaxies and the ...
