Astronomers have used the LOFAR telescope array to create the largest radio survey of the cosmos, revealing 13.7 million ...

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Last month when scientists announced new ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Two space telescopes really are better than one. This month NASA released a new image that combines observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory of two ...

It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two spiral galaxies colliding is ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has peered through cosmic dust to reveal new details and a stunning image of a rare type of galaxy. The space observatory's latest image shows the Cartwheel galaxy, a ...

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...

CNN — A new telescope image showcases two entangled galaxies that will eventually merge into one millions of years from now -- and previews the eventual, similar fate of our own Milky Way galaxy. The ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images of a distant galaxy that is forming a peculiar cosmic structure resembling a question mark. This observation, revealed in a study published ...

Astronomers used AI to search 35 years of Hubble data and discovered over 1,300 rare cosmic anomalies hidden in plain sight.

New data confirm that the titanic collisions of galaxies ignite the most powerful active galactic nuclei. Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are phases in which supermassive black holes at the centre of ...
