Scientists have discovered a giant cosmic filament where galaxies spin in sync with the structure that holds them together.

Another batch of the ‘impossible’ galaxies turned out not to be standard galaxies at all, but a new type of object that ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered ...

By studying tiny distortions in the shapes of distant galaxies, scientists mapped dark matter and dark energy across one of the largest sky surveys ever assembled. Their results back the standard ...

Two barred spiral galaxies, known as NGC 7733 and NGC 7734, are in the process of merging. The lower galaxy has a dusty knot atop its upper arm, which marks a third galactic companion. | Credit: ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured two nearby dwarf galaxies interacting with each other in this image released on ...

Astronomers following interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS say its buzz has been eclipsed by a much stranger sight: a colossal, ...

It got called the crisis in cosmology. But now astronomers can explain some surprising recent discoveries. Artist illustration of a black hole surrounded by extremely thick clouds of gas and dust.

By studying faint distortions in galaxy shapes across a vast region of sky, scientists probed the hidden structure of the universe. In the standard picture of the universe, nearly everything is hidden ...

The universe suddenly looks a lot more crowded, thanks to a deep-sky census assembled from surveys taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories. Astronomers came to the surprising ...
