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 ...

Astronomers have discovered that the distant galaxy A1689-zD1 has an unusually low dust-to-gas ratio, using the James Webb ...

Astronomers have long used the Milky Way as a benchmark for studying galaxy formation and evolution, assuming that its structure and behavior are typical. However, a groundbreaking series of studies ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the ...

A new study led by UNLV scientists sheds light on how planets, including Earth, formed in our galaxy—and why the life and ...

A long-term survey of small, “satellite” galaxies that orbit larger galaxies across the universe offers new insights into our own galaxy, the Milky Way. Since 2012, the Satellites Around Galactic ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — A team led by an Indiana University astronomer has found a sample of massive galaxies with properties that suggest they may have formed relatively recently. This would run counter ...

Image: Snapshots of the time evolution of a collision of two spiral galaxies with black holes at their center from a computer simulation. Color indicates temperature and brightness the gas density.

An international team of astronomers has used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a well-known ...

Scientists have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. Simulating galaxy evolution with artificial ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...
