Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves ...

Astronomers have observed a galaxy dating to an earlier epoch in the universe's history that surprisingly is shaped much like our Milky Way - a spiral structure with a straight bar of stars and ...

The highly inclined barred spiral M108 in Ursa Major is sometimes called the Surfboard Galaxy. It's not to be missed.

While galaxies with highly organised structures like the barred spiral shape of the Milky Way are common now, that was not the case 11.1 billion years ago.

Astronomers have revealed the Condor Galaxy, a vast barred spiral five times larger than the Milky Way, shaped by past interactions and filled with bright star clusters and stellar nurseries.

Like the Milky Way, it is a barred spiral galaxy, meaning it has an elongated structure extending from its nucleus, with spiral arms extending from the ends of the bar. Its diameter of about ...

Such an object is UGC 10214, the so-called Tadpole Galaxy in Draco. This barred spiral has a long tidal tail of material streaming off one of its ends, thus the reason for the nickname.

J0107a is now one of the earliest-known examples of a barred spiral galaxy. About two thirds of spiral galaxies observed in the universe today possess a bar structure.

A near-infrared image shows the nearby galaxy VV114 captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, with the monster barred spiral galaxy J0107a in the background, captured by the Atacama Large ...
