Pair of colliding galaxies may hint at the fate of the Milky Way and its closest galactic neighbor
New observations of a pair of colliding spiral galaxies hint at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and when they collide. The findings, described in July in the ...
Two space telescopes really are better than one. This month NASA released a new image that combines observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory of two ...
New data confirm that the titanic collisions of galaxies ignite the most powerful active galactic nuclei. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are phases in which supermassive black holes at the centre of ...
