In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers have identified TOI-1846 b, a super-Earth exoplanet located 154 light-years away.

Here we see light from a distant galaxy following the curve of spacetime created by the elliptical galaxy's mass.

Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical, irregular and peculiar.

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.
