Whether or not galaxies merge depends on how strong the gravitational attraction is between the galaxies and whether the universe's expansion is more powerful than gravity. Gravity affects everything ...

Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two central black holes can end up bound together. Astronomers have seen plenty ...

Using early data from the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope, astronomers have analyzed over one million galaxies to test a long-standing idea in astrophysics: that galaxy mergers help ...
