Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

Scientists have created the highest resolution map of the dark matter that threads through the universe—showing its influence ...

Researchers at the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) made the discovery about galaxies by studying the gas distribution that helps create stars. Using CSIRO's ASKAP radio ...

Inside an incredibly bright cluster of galaxies, a long-dormant supermassive black hole has come back to life. Radio images ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have identified a population of “platypus galaxies” that defy existing categories.

Dark matter is a mysterious substance that glues galaxies together. This map from the James Webb Space Telescope could help ...

Historically most scientists thought that once a satellite galaxy has passed close by its higher mass parent galaxy its star formation would stop because the larger galaxy would remove the gas from it ...

Scientists have discovered that bizarre cosmic phenomena known as fast radio bursts are more likely to occur in huge galaxies than in smaller ones, in turn unraveling the secrets of how so-called ...

Two far-away galaxies have been described as “blood-soaked eyes” by NASA after the Hubble and James Webb Space telescopes captured an intriguing video of the two colliding galaxies. NASA says the ...

Almost all the light we see in the universe comes from stars which form inside dense clouds of gas in the interstellar medium. The rate at which they form (referred to as the star formation rate, or ...

The red shade shows the atomic hydrogen gas content of the galaxy, overlaid on the optical image. The atomic gas that is outside the white circle does not contribute significantly to the formation of ...
