Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have ...

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

Astronomers continue to uncover galaxies that challenge traditional classifications. A recent study by Hubble Space Telescope observers, highlighted by NASA, showcases NGC 2775, a galaxy whose ...

Sagittarius B2, a massive molecular cloud near the center of the Milky Way, is densely packed with stars and complex magnetic ...

Behind the dusty clouds of the Cigar Galaxy lies a dazzling powerhouse of star formation, where stars are being born ten ...

A detailed image reveals an unusual plasma jet structure, suggesting the presence of two merging supermassive black holes at the galaxy’s core. For more than a century and a half, the distant galaxy ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter. First spotted in 2024, FCC 224 is a dwarf galaxy that boasts a dozen luminous, tightly bound ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

A groundbreaking discovery has reshaped our perception of how fast galaxies evolved in the early universe. Astronomers have detected oxygen in the light from the galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0, the most ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

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 ...
