Most small galaxies that stopped making new ... The team speculates that high heat in the galaxy may have suspended star formation. Then, as the universe cooled down, stars began to form again.

Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to study the unusual star-forming timeline of dwarf galaxy Leo P.

a small galaxy and a distant neighbor of the Milky Way, "reignited," reactivating during a significant period on the timeline of the universe, producing stars when many other small galaxies didn't.

The observations provide a rare, elusive glimpse into how small galaxies form ... low-density cloud of stars that surrounds the bright central disk of a galaxy and traces its evolutionary history.

These are known as hypervelocity stars, with some moving faster than the escape velocity of the Milky Way of around 600 ...

Astronomers may have found a star racing through our galaxy at an incredible speed—dragging a planet along with it! If ...

Observations show Andromeda has a more active star formation history than the Milky Way, potentially due to a past galactic collision. NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy ...
