Astronomers located hyperactive fast radio bursts to a faint dwarf galaxy orbiting a larger companion 2 billion light-years ...

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers from Stanford University and elsewhere have conducted deep X-ray observations ...

The team of astronomers used the Keck I telescope to measure the distance to an ancient galaxy described as the farthest galaxy in the universe. The galaxy in question is called GN-z11, and it's both ...

A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies ...

Three years ago, a team of astronomers led by Yale’s Pieter van Dokkum surprised the scientific community with the discovery of a far-off galaxy that contained little or no dark matter. The discovery, ...

Aided by a cosmic magnifying glass, astronomers may have found a baby picture of the most distant galaxy known. Its faint spectra suggest that it lies about 13.2 billion light-years from Earth, ...

Using a cosmic magnifying glass to peer into the deepest reaches of space, two teams of astronomers have discovered tiny galaxies that may be among the most distant known. Images suggest that one of ...

This galaxy existed just 400 million years after the Big Bang and provides new insights into the first generation of galaxies. This is the first time that the distance of an object so far away has ...

The most distant galaxy cluster yet has been discovered by combining data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and optical and infrared telescopes. The cluster is located about 10.2 billion light ...

Imaging shows NGC 6789 building stars in near-total isolation, pushing scientists to rethink gas supply and formation in ...

Astronomers have more accurately measured the distance to the oldest and farthest galaxy ever detected. The light they’re seeing left the galaxy, known as GN-z11, around 13.4 billion years ago, when ...

An international team of astronomers led by UC Santa Cruz and Yale University has pushed back the cosmic frontier of galaxy exploration to a time when the universe was only 5 percent of its present ...
