Galaxy merger is a crucial process in galactic evolution that has happened since the first galaxies came into being. Now JWST ...

Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the researchers identified an ongoing merger event of at least ...

The discovery reinforces established theories about space. There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers. As many as ...

Euclid’s first deep-field survey has captured 26 million galaxies, some over 10 billion light-years away, offering a preview of its mission to chart a third of the sky in stunning detail. AI and ...

Galaxies like the Milky Way grow by merging with smaller galaxies over billions of years, unlike dwarf galaxies, which have long been thought to lack the heft to attract mass and grow in the same way.

This NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month brings us a scene from the distant universe. Pictured here ...

Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's ...

Structures known as "zippers" and "twisters" in the early universe may explain why dwarf galaxies tend to line up with each other, as well as hint at how dark matter operates in the universe. When you ...
