Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

At a distance of160,000 light-years, an aging red supergiant star in a neighboring galaxy has become the subject of an ...

Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has provided deeper insight into the entire life cycle (birth, growth and death) ...

A fantastic new discovery has given astronomy an unexpected window into the formation of life-precursor molecules in an ...

Observations by the James Webb Space Telescope hint at an excess of "UB-bright" galaxies in the first 400 million years after ...

In the vast darkness of the early universe, a spiral of light named Zhúlóng offers a new glimpse into cosmic history. This galaxy, shaped like our Milky Way, formed just a billion years after the Big ...

UBC astronomers release a sneak peak of the most accurate measurements yet of key aspects of the Universe, including star ...

An international team of astronomers has employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe a distant galaxy ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...
