Webb telescope found 12 black holes from 12.9B years ago, suggesting supermassive black holes shaped the growth of the ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

The James Webb Space Telescope has made an extraordinary discovery, spotting a galaxy forming some 13 billion years ago. This breakthrough provides invaluable insights into the universe’s earliest ...

For several years, the astronomers have been intrigued by the compact and luminous galaxies observed in great number in the remote Universe. They are dwarf by their sizes, and however radiate ten to ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

This illustration provided by the European Southern Observatory in February 2024, depicts the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive ...

Astronomers have successfully charted a colossal cluster of galaxies, extending billions of light years. This unprecedented exploration into cosmic structures could provide new insights into the ...

Black holes not only existed at the dawn of time, they birthed new stars and supercharged galaxy formation, a new analysis of James Webb Space Telescope data suggests. The insights upend theories of ...

"We know these monster black holes exist at the center of galaxies near our Milky Way, but the big surprise now is that they were present at the beginning of the universe." When you purchase through ...

Behind the dusty clouds of the Cigar Galaxy lies a dazzling powerhouse of star formation, where stars are being born ten ...

Sometimes, Hubble or other telescopes will capture two or more galaxies that are in the process of merging — called interacting galaxies. These huge collisions can warp one or both of the galaxies, ...
