The newly-discovered GS-NDG-9422 galaxy appears as a faint blur in this James Webb Space Telescope NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) image. It could help astronomers better understand galaxy evolution in ...

Space is packed with all sorts of weird and unexpected stuff, but this humongous, spinning string-thing raises a whole new ...

A "totally new phenomenon" has been discovered by astronomers in a strange galaxy from the dawn of time. This galaxy, named GS-NDG-9422 (9422), was discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope to have ...

In the vast expanse of the universe, the Milky Way Galaxy holds a special place in our hearts. It is our home, and after studying it for decades from our cosmic residence nestled within one of its ...

Galactic mergers are events that have been observed many times by astronomers in space. However, one captured by the Hubble telescope in 2022 attracted special attention because of its similarity to a ...

Our galaxy’s heart is a gluttonous monster. Like the mythical Kammapa of the Sotho people of southern Africa, the Milky Way’s central, supermassive black hole has swallowed nearly everything around it ...

Proportions—think of the golden ratio and its kindred—are the bedrock of our reality, found in everything from music to the structure of the cosmos. Discerning them is the source of our empirical ...

Evidence is growing for an ultralight dark matter particle called the axion. A study of light warped by galaxies has shown that it is better explained by axion dark matter than weakly interacting ...

"We've got a few blobs of different sizes and a mysterious L-shaped filamentary structure. This is all within 16,000 light-years of the black hole." When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

The discovery of a 'weird' and unprecedented galaxy in the early Universe could 'help us understand how the cosmic story began', astronomers say. GS-NDG-9422 (9422) was found approximately one billion ...

The Milky Way's satellite galaxies are less typical than previously thought. Most Milky Way-like galaxies have star-forming satellite galaxies, unlike our own. The Milky Way's unique satellite galaxy ...
