Astronomers Shed Light on Different Galaxy TypesIn research published today, Australian scientists have taken a critical step towards understanding why different types of galaxies exist throughout ...

Another important element to a galaxy’s shape is when they were formed. When the universe was smaller, and at an earlier stage of expansion following the Big Bang, mergers were much more common ...

A radio galaxy is a type of galaxy with giant regions of radio emissions that reach far beyond its visible structure. We explore them in more detail here.

To make their discovery, researchers combined different tracers of the centripetal acceleration found in different types of galaxies, from which they made 1-to-1 comparisons.

The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ring galaxy located 500 million light-years away that formed when a large spiral galaxy and a small galaxy violently collided.

In the Cartwheel galaxy, which looks a bit like a wagon wheel, a colorful ring surrounds an even brighter inner ring -- both of which expand away from the heart of the collision, as depicted in ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy. The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy ...
