This Hubble image features the active spiral galaxy Messier 88 (M88), located about 63 million light-years away.

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden supermassive black hole inside the famous Antennae galaxies NGC 4038/4039, a pair of colliding galaxies best known for their spectacular bursts of star formation.…

"We might have detected one of the various small systems that contributed to form our Milky Way."

Observations of "Little Red Dot" ancient galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope could answer the question: which comes first, the black hole or its galaxy? The shocking answer could represent a complete paradigm shift.

An international team led by Associate Professor Kimihiko Nakajima of Kanazawa University has captured a rare look at the early universe. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the power of gravitational lensing, the team achieved a definitive…

We live in a golden age of astronomical imaging. Telescopes are capturing billions of galaxy images, painting the universe in breathtaking detail. But there's a problem, and it's a big one.…

It strikes me as quietly ridiculous, sitting in Middlemarch with a telescope barely bigger than a coffee mug, peering 60 million light-years into...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have mapped the "cosmic web" of galaxies, the largest structure in the universe, with unprecedented detail.

This Hubble image of lenticular galaxy NGC 1266 reveals its bright center and a face that hints at spiral structure.

Look for the Great Diamond of Spring in May's night sky and discover the rich realm of galaxies within.

Scientists studying mysterious ultra-powerful cosmic rays have uncovered a surprising hidden pattern that could finally help explain where these particles come from.…

From Space.com: Astrophotographer captures remarkable view of galactic 'Eyes' with backyard telescope

Astronomers have identified a group of ancient stars that may be the remnants of a dwarf galaxy named Loki that merged with the Milky Way more than 10 billion years ago.

Extremely powerful quasars in the early Universe drove star-forming gas out of their galaxies. These Super-quasars are behind the JWST's puzzling early Universe observations.

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have created the clearest map yet of the universe’s “cosmic web” — the enormous hidden structure that connects galaxies across space.…

Using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers led by researchers at the University of California, Riverside have produced the most detailed map of the cosmic web ever made, tracing the network of galaxies all the way back to when…

Astronomers have discovered two early-universe galaxies where the central black holes appear to have grown far faster than their host galaxies.…

Astronomers who simulate galaxies do not always get the same result, even when they start from identical conditions. New research from Leiden University shows that this is not a flaw, but a consequence of how galaxies behave—and how they are modeled.

We cannot measure the slowing of time near the Big Bang because there is no “cosmic clock” outside of this event against which to compare.

Only nearby objects appear to the naked eye. With telescopes of all types, especially in space, we've smashed those records many times over.
