Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

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

Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.

"The knowledge of these will ultimately help us understand the formation of the first stars and planets and how our own Milky ...

Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Scientists have discovered that bizarre cosmic phenomena known as fast radio bursts are more likely to occur in huge galaxies than in smaller ones, in turn unraveling the secrets of how so-called ...

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.

At approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, the Milky Way’s vastness and the broader, ever-changing dynamics of the cosmos defy any attempt to fully understand our home galaxy and its history.

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
