Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory ...

A team of astronomers led by the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard and Smithsonian have for the first time used galactic ...

By reading the chemical “fingerprints” of a distant galaxy, astronomers reconstructed its 12-billion-year evolution. This new ...

Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those ...

T he first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University ...

In the vast darkness of the early universe, a spiral of light named Zhúlóng offers a new glimpse into cosmic history. This galaxy, shaped like our Milky Way, formed just a billion years after the Big ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified emerging young star clusters still breaking free from their ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

The research could shed light on how black holes vomit out matter and how this influences their home galaxies.

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models ...
