The oldest and most distant black hole known to scientists dates back 13.3 billion years ago, when our universe was still in its teething stage, according to findings published this month.

NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope have recently released a breathtaking new image of NGC 2835, a spiral galaxy located 35 ...

Though just a billion years old, it already has a clear bulge, bright spiral arms, and a well-formed disk stretching over 60,000 light-years. That’s almost the same size as our own Milky Way.

This image of Zhúlóng, the most distant spiral galaxy discovered to date, shows its remarkably well-defined spiral arms, a central old bulge, and a large star-forming disk, resembling the ...

Just how similar REBELS-25, short for ALMA's Reionization Era Bright Emission Line Survey program, is to our home galaxy may become clearer soon. The study found hints of other mature traits, such ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.

Classic spiral, barred spiral, and other types of galaxy shapes, lenticular, elliptical, and irregular, date back to the early 1900s when the study of galaxies was still in its infancy. NGC 3430's ...

NGC 524 is a lenticular galaxy. Lenticular galaxies are believed to be an intermediate state in galactic evolution — they are neither elliptical nor spiral.
