Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny ...

Using JWST's Mid-Infrared Instrument, the scientists honed in on stars, all between one and eight times the mass of the sun, ...

All of the people and mountains and planets and stars that you see around you only make up 15% of the universe's mass. The ...

This is the reality for astronomers today, who are capturing faint signals that have traveled for over 13 billion years to reach Earth. These signals originate from a time when the universe was still ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers traced how Milky Way–like galaxies formed and changed over time.

An international team has discovered the most distant spiral galaxy candidate known to date. This ultra-massive system existed just one billion years after the Big Bang and already shows a remarkably ...

Scientists have detected ancient microwave signals from the universe's early days. These signals, over 13 billion years old, ...
