Astronomers at Texas A&M University have discovered a rare, tightly packed collision of galaxies in the early universe, suggesting that galaxies were interacting and shaping their surroundings far ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

A new simulation tool lets scientists explore whether self-interacting dark matter could reshape galaxies from the inside out ...

Two space telescopes really are better than one. This month NASA released a new image that combines observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory of two ...

Whoooooo's there? Just a "Cosmic Owl," the latest strange discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). A new study using JWST data has helped scientists spot an owl-faced object peering out ...

Some 1.2 billion light-years from Earth, a massive event is unfolding on cosmic scales. There, not two, but three galaxies are gradually coming together in a giant, triple collision named ...

Astronomers believe the two galaxies may collide in next 10 billion years Theory based on data from Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia star-tracking mission 'In short, the probability went from ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Physicists have unveiled a new way to simulate a mysterious form of dark matter that can collide with itself but not with ...

Dark stars powered by dark matter may explain bright galaxies, massive black holes, and mysterious red objects in the early universe.

Some galaxies in the early universe were absolute powerhouses, churning out stars at rates that would dwarf the Milky Way's ...

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of the early universe. While studying the distant galaxy cluster known as ...
