A compilation of various images from the James Webb Space Telescope shows the effects of gravitational lensing caused by dark ...
This week, researchers discovered so-called "switchbacks" in Earth's magnetic field similar to observations of switchbacks in ...
An international team of astronomers has used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to observe a well-known ...
For 50 years, astronomers have been searching for evidence of winds emanating from the black hole Sagittarius A*. Now, they finally think they have an answer.
It was spotted in the spiral galaxy NGC 3627, around 31 million light-years from our solar system in the constellation Leo.
The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.
A massive, rotating disk galaxy designated DLA0817g and nicknamed the "Wolfe Disk," formed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. It was discovered using ALMA, the Atacama Large ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Scientists have detected oxygen in the most distant galaxy ever found, suggesting that early galaxies formed more rapidly than previously thought. The record-breaking discovery, reported by two teams ...
