There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to ...

A whole universe of hidden galaxies lies just beyond what the eye can see. Thanks to a new generation of space telescopes, astronomers are now revealing these distant, dim worlds—some no bigger than a ...

While we have plenty of spiral galaxies, like our own Milky Way, these are only the most common types of galaxies out there. There are still others, like elliptical or irregular galaxies.

Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to peer into the early universe and uncover the ...

Spiral galaxies like our own are just one type, and each galaxy variant can come in a variety of sizes. These new galaxies are what are known as UCDs, or ultra-compact dwarf galaxies.

When looking up at the sky, you might think galaxies have always looked the way they do today. But a new study from Princeton ...

Astronomers have discovered a galaxy that has been "frozen in time" for billions of years. Like a celestial dinosaur fossil, ...

In its debut, the telescope turned its eye toward two familiar showstoppers in deep space: the Trifid and Lagoon nebulas in ...

This was surprising, as the researchers previously thought that FRBs occurred equally in all types of galaxies. This also suggests that if FRBs are more common in massive galaxies, so are magnetars.
