Astronomer and Queen guitarist Brian May teams up with astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson to bring the cosmos to 3D.

While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity ...

Findings from a Rochester Institute of Technology study provide further evidence that the outskirts of spiral galaxies host massive black holes. These overlooked regions are new places to observe ...

Approximately 424 million light-years away, a vast chunk of the cosmic web (the network-like distribution of matter the universe displays on the largest scale) appears as if it’s been caught in a ...

Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a 1.6 million light-year galactic tail — the largest of its kind ever seen.

Astronomers utilizing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a new class of galaxies that defy traditional cosmic categorization. This unexpected discovery, highlighted in a recent ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy in just two years of operations, but how can it see a galaxy 33.8 billion light-years away in a universe that is only 13.8 billion years old ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.
