Imagine a civilization so advanced that it can harness the energy of an entire galaxy, manipulate gravity, and explore ...

Present-day disk galaxies often contain a thick, star-filled outer disk and an embedded thin disk of stars. Three major theoretical scenarios have been proposed by astronomers to explain how this ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago—something never seen before. These observations reveal that galaxies ...

White diamond symbols mark the locations of 20 of the 83 newfound young, low-mass galaxies undergoing intense star formation when the universe was just 800 million years old. Despite their small ...

There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as 100 undiscovered galaxies that are too faint to be seen ...

World's largest telescope unveils stunning images of distant galaxies The first images from a new telescope in Chile were released this week, featuring extraordinarily detailed scenes from deep space.

Millions of stars and galaxies fill a dreamy cosmic landscape in the first-ever images released from a new astronomical observatory with the largest digital camera in the world. In one composite ...

Maffei 1 and 2 are two galaxies relatively close to our Milky Way. These galaxies were discovered in 1967 due to their infrared light. They belong to the IC 342/Maffei Group, a galaxy group near ...

The Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than scientists have previously been able to predict or observe, according to new research. Cosmologists at Durham University used a new ...

Compact ruddy galaxies (six shown in these images from the James Webb Space Telescope) known as little red dots may have originated in slowly spinning dark matter halos, astronomers say. Dale ...

An infinity symbol–shaped galaxy hosts an active supermassive black hole. The growing giant may have come from the aftermath of a galactic smashup.
