The concept of dwarf galaxies swarming around larger galaxies is expected from models of galaxy formation based on the standard model of cosmology, which depicts a universe filled with what's ...

Galaxies like the Milky Way boast more than spirals; they also have feathers, where clumps of new stars are born. Astronomers have been stumped by how these complex structures form, but now a ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which ...

The "deaths" of galaxies are caused by their central supermassive black holes, and the "smoking gun" evidence of this connection takes an unexpected form.

An impossibly bright galaxy is forcing scientists to rewrite the rules of the Big Bang’s aftermath. Here’s what you’ll learn ...

A galaxy in the early universe was rich with oxygen, astronomers have found. The discovery raises questions about how early ...

Developed by Israeli scientist Mordehai Milgrom in the 1980s, MOND postulates that galaxies form and expand much quicker under a stronger force of gravity than the standard model accounts for. The ...
