Astronomers have puzzled for decades over how massive elliptical galaxies appeared so early in cosmic history. The standard ...

This enormous chain of hundreds of galaxies—a cosmic filament—is twisting through space 400 million light-years away ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international ...

An international team of astronomers, led by Weichen Wang of the University of Milan, Italy, discovered a massive and ...

A recent study led by scientists at the University of Missouri, published in The Astrophysical Journal, revealed some astonishing findings made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The ...

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 ...

Astronomers from the University of Tokyo in Japan and elsewhere have employed the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to ...

The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow bigger and bigger until they become the giant galaxies we see in the modern ...

Protogalaxies as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope (NASA via Courthouse News). (CN) — When astronomers started looking at new images of the deep universe obtained from the James Webb Space ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team that was led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and includes Professor Stijn Wuyts from the University of Bath in the UK has identified three ultra-massive ...
