Cosmic archeologists have used the James Webb Space Telescope to excavate ancient disk galaxies that tell the story of how ...

Compact ruddy galaxies seen by the James Webb telescope confound astronomers. Having very little spin at birth may explain the galaxies’ small sizes.

For years, astronomers have been working to piece together the story of our universe, but the critical early chapters ...

Scientists previously predicted the pair of galaxies would merge in about five billion years. Now, research suggests that ...

Such a mission could let researchers peer through all the light there is, all the way back to the universe’s very first light, to the time before galaxies or stars, before even the first ...

It wasn’t until 1959 when the Soviet Luna 3 probe gave us our first glimpse of the Moon’s far side, and it wasn’t until 2019 when the Chang’e 4 mission made the first soft landing.

Using 1,024 of what will eventually be 131,072 radio antennas, the first SKA-Low image shows a tiny sliver of sky dotted with ancient galaxies billions of light-years from Earth.

The Horn Antenna was the instrument used by radio astronomers Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson that detected a background noise, later discovered to be caused by cosmic microwave background radiation.

In Australia, SKA-Low will instead have 131,072 antennae, each about 2 meters (6.6 feet) tall, that look a bit like Christmas trees. The wire antennae look dramatically different from the ...

Three Alma antennas on the 5km altitude plateau of Chajnantor in Chile. wikipedia, CC BY-SA Our study examined the distribution of dust in more than 100 distant galaxies, which we know were ...

The Antennae Galaxies, part of the constellation Corvus, are colliding and going through a starburst phase marked by rapid star formation. (Credit: NASA) Among all space mysteries, the creation of the ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this spectacular image of the Antennae Galaxies. The galaxies, also known as NGC 4038 and NGC 4039, can be seen colliding with each other.
