Researchers have discovered a large, orderly spiral galaxy that formed soon after the Big Bang, when space was only about 1.5 ...

This infrared view offers the clearest look yet at how dwarf galaxies merge, evolve, trade gas and ignite waves of new stars.

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from Cambridge studied over 250 galaxies and found most were turbulent, still forming ...

An international team of researchers led by the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has shed light on a decades-long debate about why galaxies spin faster than expected—and whether this ...

The Galaxies Showcase 2025 is nearly here, and it's set to feature more than 50 games, six world premieres, exclusive reveals, demo drops, and so much more. There is a lot to look forward to, and ...

Unexpectedly violent black holes may have caused the mystery of the missing cosmic matter. Most of the universe is filled with mysterious dark matter, but even ordinary matter has stumped cosmologists ...

Lister Staveley-Smith receives research funding from ICRAR, the Western Australian government, and the University of Western Australia. Most of the ordinary matter in the universe is hydrogen. But ...

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 ...

While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

A weird type of galaxy seen in the early universe has now been spotted in a more recent part of the cosmos, raising questions about their true nature. Over the past few years, astronomers using the ...

The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...
