Researchers from The University of Western Australia node at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have uncovered an immense structure, which spans an astonishing 185,000 light-years between galaxies ...
An international team of astronomers has performed photometric and spectroscopic observations of a compact stellar system around a nearby spiral galaxy known as NGC 7531. Results of the observational campaign, published September ...
Using the wide-field survey capabilities of the Subaru Telescope, astronomers discovered active supermassive black holes, or quasars, in the distant universe and then studied them with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). ...
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will help scientists better understand our Milky Way galaxy's less sparkly components—gas and dust strewn between stars, known as the interstellar medium.
TRAPPIST-1 is a red dwarf star located about 40 light years away that hosts seven Earth-sized rocky planets, with at least three orbiting in the habitable zone where liquid water could potentially exist. This makes it one ...
Traditionally, black holes are usually thought to "reside" at the centers of galaxies. However, a research team led by Dr. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered ...
While it may appear as just another spiral galaxy among billions in the universe, this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope reveals a galaxy with plenty to study. The galaxy, NGC 7456, is located over 51 million ...
Astronomers from Yonsei University in Seoul, South Korea, and elsewhere report the discovery of a new isolated early-type dwarf galaxy, which appears to have run away from the group environment. The finding is detailed in ...
In a distant galaxy called Makani, particles of dust were warmed by the light of newborn stars before being flung out into space by a massive starburst-driven wind. Over the course of 100 million years, the dust traveled ...
In a breakthrough study published in Nature Astronomy, researchers have discovered a new origin for some of the fastest stars ever observed: hypervelocity white dwarfs—compact stellar remnants hurtling through space faster ...
