The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international team led by Nikolaus Sulzenauer and Axel Weiß from the Max Planck ...

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

Faint structures play a crucial role in cosmic development, and scientists are only just beginning to grasp their full extent ...

When looking up at the sky, you might think galaxies have always looked the way they do today. But a new study from Princeton University and published in the journal, Monthly Notices of the Royal ...

A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist. Two astronomers from India have identified a ...

Astronomers say they have identified a new type of astronomical object that challenges traditional ideas about how galaxies form. Using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists studied a ...

The galaxy cluster appears hotter and more mature than it should for its young age, challenging what we think we know about how these cities of galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

They found that the bigger the galaxy, the earlier it formed a thin disc. High-mass galaxies formed their thin discs around 8 billion years ago, while low-mass galaxies did not form them until about 4 ...
