The James Webb Space Telescope has blown our minds again, uncovering how tiny galaxies played a huge role in building the ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...

Hubble’s updated view of NGC 3370, richer in light and detail than ever before, deepens our understanding of both the galaxy and the cosmos itself. This new Hubble Picture of the Week highlights a ...

Studying the very distant Universe is hard. That’s because — not to be too on the nose about it — it’s far away. That makes it hard for many reasons. Objects that far away are small and faint, so we ...

On human timescales, the universe may as well be eternal. It’ll be here long after our species and our planet are gone, but it does have an end. The generally accepted long-term evolution of the ...

A frequent sign of the maturity of a spiral galaxy is the formation of a ribbon of stars and gas that slices across the nucleus, like the slash across a “no smoking” sign. In a landmark study of more ...

The mission’s first large set of survey data is a treasure trove for clues about the history of the universe. Reading time: Reading time 2 minutes The Euclid space telescope is on a mission to map ...

(CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the oldest "dead" galaxy ever observed while studying the cosmos with the James Webb Space Telescope, and it's one of the deepest views into the distant universe made ...

The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow bigger and bigger until they become the giant galaxies we see in the modern ...

Astronomers peering back deep in time into the distant universe think they may have discovered a population of previous hidden galaxies that could shake up astrophysics. The research, based on data ...
