Galaxies

The Gaia space telescope has discovered two ancient stellar streams woven through the heart of the Milky Way, which were present 12 billion years ago.

With the help of artificial intelligence, amateur scientists have discovered more than 400,000 new galaxies.

A new map spanning 500 light-years reveals the interaction between magnetic fields and dust in the Milky Way that will become the building blocks of stars.

The James Space Telescope has used its NIRCam and MIRI instruments to capture two dynamic views of the star-forming region NGC 604 in the Triangulum Galaxy.

Astronomers have observed a so-called standard candle supernova generating clouds of cosmic dust, bringing us a step closer to understanding the life and death cycle of stars.

Astronomers may finally know why some death shrouds created by the deaths of sun-like stars lack the element sulfur.

The James Webb Space Telescope could target tiny and bright galaxies in the early universe to unveil some secrets about the universe's most mysterious stuff, dark matter.

"The scientific breadth and impact of the survey is quite overwhelming; it’s hard to put into a few words."

Scientists want to know how galaxies get ensnared in the universe's 'cosmic web' and how this network of filamentary gas and dust drives galactic evolution.

Stars around the outskirts of our galaxy may hint at a secret about the Milky Way's dark matter.
