The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

A multifractal spectrum called a weighted Cantor set model can describe how galaxies cluster, which is similar to other ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s first picture released to the public showed off thousands of galaxies. At first glance, the pinpoints of light shining in the blackness of space look like little stars ...

In research published today, Australian scientists have taken a critical step towards understanding why different types of galaxies exist throughout the universe. The research, made possible by ...

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

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

The earliest galaxies are thought to have formed as the gravitational pull of dark matter, which has been impossible to study directly, slowly drew in enough hydrogen and helium to ignite stars. But ...

In 1963, Caltech researcher Maarten Schmidt had a eureka moment. He was looking at the spectrum of a mysterious object named 3C 273, a source that had been found and cataloged with then-novel radio ...

Galaxies brimming with stars and even evidence of supermassive black holes can be seen in stunning new photos unveiled by NASA captured by its James Webb Space Telescope. The collection depicts ...
