A study of the fascinating galaxy system nicknamed "The Stingray" suggests that mysterious little red dots could be a phase ...

These halos, crucial to understanding galaxy formation, were largely unknown until the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy ...

The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. It was 2018, and the discovery had just been announced. A team ...

Although magnetic forces are usually much weaker than gravity in shaping cosmic structures, the findings suggest that strong, ordered magnetic fields may have emerged earlier than expected. Over time, ...

Astronomers have long argued that dark matter is the invisible scaffolding that holds galaxies together. Without its immense ...

For the first time, scientists have reconstructed the full history of a galaxy outside the Milky Way using chemical clues. By analyzing oxygen across NGC 1365 and comparing it with simulations, they ...

A blazing supermassive black hole can influence far more than its own galaxy. Scientists found that quasars emit radiation strong enough to shut down star formation in nearby galaxies millions of ...

Astronomers have identified a compact, superheated galaxy in the early universe that is churning out new suns at roughly 180 times the rate of the Milky Way, turning a tiny patch of sky into a cosmic ...

In the vast darkness of the early universe, a spiral of light named Zhúlóng offers a new glimpse into cosmic history. This galaxy, shaped like our Milky Way, formed just a billion years after the Big ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
