Astronomers have discovered what could be the biggest known black hole in the universe. The gargantuan black hole, around 36 ...

Traditional models of galaxy formation suggest that early galaxies formed from a relatively smooth distribution of stars and gas. However, the observations made by Fujimoto and his team revealed ...

A team led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics discovered the most distant known fossil galaxy — a relic of the early universe that has escaped normal evolution.

The fossil galaxy has stars and planets, just like our own galaxy, but it is much more dense, Spiniello added. “There will be many more stars in a tiny, tiny volume, so it’ll be super crowded ...

Astronomers have gotten a rare close-up look at a galaxy from the early universe and found it’s chock full of star forming activity in a way no one expected. Nicknamed “Cosmic Grapes,” this ...

Ancient radio signals from galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, traveling 10 billion years to Earth, reveal a mini-halo that may provide insights into early universe formation.

The Infinity Galaxy lends weight to the direct collapse theory of black hole formation. As you probably know, most black holes form when massive stars collapse.
