The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s first picture released to the public showed off thousands of galaxies. At first glance, the pinpoints of light shining in the blackness of space look like little stars ...

Galaxies are collections of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter throughout the universe. Their size and scale can vary considerably. The Milky Way in which we live has 200 billion stars, which puts it ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago—something never seen before. These observations reveal that galaxies first ...

Our best current theory about how galaxies form involves gravity, dark matter and mergers. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

Ring galaxies are some of the rarest galaxies found throughout our universe, and for years scientists have scratched their heads, trying to figure out exactly how these galaxies came to be. According ...

Galaxies from the early Universe are more like our own Milky Way than previously thought, flipping the entire narrative of how scientists think about structure formation in the Universe, according to ...

Scientists on Tuesday unveiled the first pictures taken by the European space telescope Euclid, a shimmering and stunning collection of galaxies too numerous to count. The photos were revealed by the ...

The ESA's Euclid space telescope has been in space for just over a year, investigating some of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. By observing cosmic structures up to a distance of 10 billion ...
