contributing to the galaxy's size and shape. The ancient spiral could also have formed through the merger of two smaller galaxies, though this seems less likely given its orderly structure ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted five galaxy candidates dating to just 200 million years after the Big Bang, making them the earliest ever detected. And there could be many more.

Dwarf galaxy D2 is the group's most massive member with a stellar mass of 275 million solar masses, while D4 is the least massive—with a stellar mass of only 14.7 million solar masses.

Researchers have found evidence of magnetic fields associated with a disc of gas and dust a few hundred light-years across deep inside a system of two merging galaxies known as Arp220. They say these ...

telescope in Chile and NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes have discovered a far-flung trio of primitive galaxies nestled inside an enormous blob of primordial gas nearly 13 billion light-years ...

TheAtlPhoto is sharing a new image from a space telescope every day until December 25. On the third day, a nearly edge-on ...

Pettit's photo shows the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud - which are two dwarf galaxies that are close to the Milky Way. In fact, they're so close to our galaxy, that it's ...

Dwarf galaxies are important tools for understanding structure formation and galaxy evolution across cosmic time. These low-mass systems allow us to gain a detailed understanding of stellar, chemical, ...

Scientists find dwarf galaxies by using instruments ... galaxies will fall into the parent and merge, and create an even ...
