The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

A whole universe of hidden galaxies lies just beyond what the eye can see. Thanks to a new generation of space telescopes, astronomers are now revealing these distant, dim worlds—some no bigger than a ...

On a clear night with dark skies, you can catch a glimpse of the Milky Way, a luminous arc stretching across the horizon. To the unaided eye, its translucent clouds are simply beautiful splashes in ...

"Imagine that you shoot a cloud with a gun; the energy of the bullet can be as large as you wish, and the cloud won't care. Yet we see less clouds of gas where there are black holes." When you ...

A collection of Ultra-red Fattened Objects (UFOs) as seen by the James Webb Space Teescope. In a new study, a team of astrophysicists led by the University of Colorado Boulder has set out to unravel ...

Edwin Hubble, born November 20, 1889, made seminal observations in 1923 of the Andromeda Galaxy and a Cepheid variable, which significantly broadened the understanding of other galaxies and the ...
