A new study led by UNLV scientists sheds light on how planets, including Earth, formed in our galaxy—and why the life and ...

When it comes to science, a simple observation can upend everything you think you know, such is the case with one star ...

October is an excellent time to observe the Andromeda spiral galaxy as it passes high overhead in the Autumn night sky.

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

What can the gamma ray light emitted by the Milky Way Galaxy teach scientists about the existence of dark matter? This is ...

Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have ...

Scientists have discovered a giant black hole that they believe may have been formed in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. The black hole is so huge that it may change our understanding of ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

Using supercomputer simulations, a team of researchers investigated a mysterious source of gamma light coming from the Milky ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

Scientists at Johns Hopkins may be closing in on dark matter’s elusive trail, uncovering a mysterious gamma ray glow at the ...
