On what might have been the proudest day of Jack Burns’s long career in astronomy, he was sitting on a beach. Orbital ...

Structures known as "zippers" and "twisters" in the early universe may explain why dwarf galaxies tend to line up with each ...

In the intriguing realm of star-forming galaxies, the key factor isn't the total amount of gas but rather its strategic distribution within the galaxy.

But when scientists peer very far back, they find conundrums. JWST observations of the distant past are at odds with ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have discovered 1,678 ancient galaxy groups, offering new insight into the ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

The largest sample of galaxy groups ever detected has been presented by a team of international astronomers using data from ...

Galaxies are often described as vast star factories, churning out new suns from clouds of gas. For decades, astronomers have assumed that the more raw ...

Researchers at the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) made the discovery about galaxies by studying the gas distribution that helps create stars.

A new, more detailed study of 1,000 distant galaxies explains why some gas-rich galaxies don’t produce as many stars as you’d ...

To get to this number, we need two values. The rate of supernovae per galaxy per century and the number of galaxies in the universe. But estimating these two parameters is more complex than you ...
