Galaxies

If you were approaching the edge of a spiral galaxy, arriving from afar through the cosmos, it might look something like this.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered the most distant Fast Radio Burst (FRB) ever, more than doubling the previous record.

MEGATRON is a good guy!?! Well, at least to cosmologists who are using this simulation to transform our understanding of the universe's first stars.

The discovery of 50 "ghost" galaxies located up to 100 million light-years away may solve an astronomy puzzle.

Faint in X-rays but bright in ultraviolet light, new objects found by NASA's Chandra space telescope could help solve two great astrophysical mysteries.

"Astronomy is not just science or spirit; it's both at the same time."

Astronomers have used the MeerKAT radio telescope to detect hydrogen gas located billions of light-years away, from a period when the cosmos was billions of years younger.

Astronomers are closer than ever to confirming the discovery of the first starless or "failed" galaxy, packed with dark matter and gas but with virtually no stars.

A trio of NASA space telescopes teamed up to capture a gorgeous new look at the glowing spiral galaxy NGC 4258 and its two anomalous extra arms.
