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 ...

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 ...

Sci-fi tends to paint the edge of our galaxy as a desolate backwater, but in one early galaxy, the galactic rim is the bright, bustling center of activity, and the core is the aging backwater. The ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

Astronomers have noticed a long and very unusual luminous trail in their observations. This stretched structure, where stars ...
