Researchers studied how the universe’s structure changed over time. They found that the universe is less clumpy than expected ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a unique image that revealed 44 individual stars in a galaxy 6.5 billion light ...

This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers challenged longstanding hypotheses that the first galaxies in the universe were formed from ...

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies, cosmic 'ghost towns,' offer new insights into the early universe and star formation.

A new computational method gleans more information than its predecessors from maps showing how galaxies are clustered and threaded throughout the universe.

A fast radio burst, or a strong pulse of energy, was tracked to a distant long-dead galaxy that astronomers never thought ...

A rare group of aligned, star-birthing dwarf galaxies resemble a cosmic string of pearls. Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies located relatively close to Earth; these ...

These massive currents carry material on a journey through and around star-forming galaxies before they settle and form stars ...
