Up until recently, astronomy was reliant entirely on electromagnetic waves. While that changed with the confirmation of gravitational waves in 2016, astronomers had developed fundamental frameworks in ...

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

Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.

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, ...

An international team of scientists has unveiled the largest and most detailed map of the universe ever created using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing nearly 800,000 galaxies stretching back ...

The photo of Sculptor will take your breath away. No matter how many times we see photos of different galaxies in outer space, they never cease to amaze. On Wednesday, astronomers in Chile revealed a ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has turned up a tiny set of galaxies in the early universe that look deceptively simple but behave in ways astronomers have never seen together before. The team that ...

The Fermi Paradox, first devised by physicist Enrico Fermi in the 1950s, asks why we haven’t detected alien civilization yet, despite the vast universe teeming with countless potentially habitable ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), employing its infrared capabilities, offered new insights into the Sombrero Galaxy (M104), revealing previously hidden stars by softening the appearance of its ...
