While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

But new research has found the strongest candidate yet. The first author is Dayi (David) Li, a post-doctoral fellow in ...

In A Nutshell Astronomers have identified 18 ancient, dust-shrouded galaxies from the universe’s first billion years that ...

New radio observations of molecular gas reveal how dozens of galaxies could have rapidly merged together in the early Universe.

NASA's Artemis II mission faces a delay as engineers discovered an issue with helium flow in the rocket's propulsion stage. This fault necessitates rolling the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly ...

Astronomers utilizing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a new class of galaxies that defy traditional cosmic categorization. This unexpected discovery, highlighted in a recent ...

Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a 1.6 million light-year galactic tail — the largest of its kind ever seen.

The James Webb Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy in just two years of operations, but how can it see a galaxy 33.8 billion light-years away in a universe that is only 13.8 billion years old ...

GS-z14-0, the most distant galaxy ever observed. Seen just 300 million years after the Big Bang, its brightness and chemical complexity challenge current theories of early galaxy formation.

NEW YORK – A new high-resolution map of distant galaxies may help scientists understand a mysterious invisible substance that helps hold the universe together. The ordinary matter all around us – ...

A new JWST study finds early galaxies at redshift 6–10 may be nearly as old as the universe at that time. One galaxy even appears older than cosmic age estimates, potentially challenging the standard ...
