Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted something that shouldn’t exist—at least not so early in the universe. A massive galaxy, formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang, appears to have no rotation at all.
Astronomers have discovered what they now call the most distant red galaxy identified to date.
Astronomers found evidence a giant elliptical galaxy may form through the rapid collapse of a young galaxy cluster.
A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host.
An object spotted in deep space is the strongest candidate yet for a galaxy arrested during early development.
Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang.
A galaxy formed around 11 billion years ago that appears to be "metal-free", indicating that it might contain a set of elusive first-generation (Pop III) stars.
Something massive is lurking in the darkness of space, a mysterious object with the weight of a million Suns but no light to give it away.
Astronomers have caught a supermassive black hole in the act of awakening from a long slumber, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the earliest stages of black hole activity.
On June 20, 2025, Austrian researchers have discovered a dark-matter galaxy candidate in a cluster of galaxies some 240 million light-years away.
Astronomers have created a galactic masterpiece: an ultra-detailed image that reveals previously unseen features in the Sculptor galaxy.
Astronomers have used Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) to show that more than three-quarters of the Universe's ordinary matter has been hiding in the thin gas between galaxies.
The record-breaking galaxy is revealing secrets about the first stars and their unexpected chemical fingerprints.
The moment one galaxy spears another with a powerful beam of radiation shooting from its central black hole has been spotted in a distant galactic collision.
A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, straight structure filled with stars across the galaxy's center. It was formed just 2.6 billion years after the Big Bang.
