Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

When astronomers look deep into the early universe, they don’t expect to see fully developed cosmic objects but small galaxies, young stars, and black holes still struggling to grow. However, recent ...

A surprisingly mature spiral galaxy named Alaknanda has been spotted just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang—far earlier than astronomers believed such well-structured galaxies could form. With ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered Population III stars, the universe's first generation of stars. They may tell us more about how galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out ...

An international team led by the University of Oxford has identified one of the largest rotating structures ever reported: a “razor-thin” string of galaxies embedded in a giant spinning cosmic ...

Most of the universe cannot be seen with any telescope, and that is not because scientists lack powerful tools. It is because the cosmos is ruled by substances that give off no light at all. Dark ...

Image of the newly discovered spiral galaxy Alaknanda (inset) as observed in the shorter wavelength JWST bands. Several bright galaxies from the foreground Abell 2744 cluster are also seen. A spiral ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is reshaping astronomy with its powerful JWST infrared capabilities, allowing scientists to observe regions of space that were once completely hidden behind thick ...
