Astronomers have made an exciting discovery about how young stars form in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), a small galaxy ...

incredibly massive collections of galaxies and galaxy clusters in the universe. The most striking example of these 662 new superclusters is located around 3 billion light-years away from Earth and ...

The scientists reached these findings while studying stellar motion in 30 UDGs in the Hydra galaxy cluster located over 160 million light-years away from us. The findings could change our ...

Westerlund 1 is located across the Milky Way galaxy about 12,000 light-years ... the formation of stars and planets in the massive super star clusters Westerlund 1 and 2 using the James Webb ...

Neighboring galaxies, despite their distance, sometimes link into structures known as clusters, which can link with other clusters to form superclusters. Then there's Quipu, the newly discovered ...

The giant structure, christened "Quipu", is made up of 68 galaxy clusters that are strung together and held together by dark matter. The superstructure is 1.4 billion light years long and ...

"The Phoenix cluster has the largest reservoir of hot, cooling gas of any galaxy cluster." How do you cool down a phoenix? I don't mean the mythological birds of flame and rebirth, but rather a ...

This week’s small-telescope targets are two open clusters, both of which reside ... week’s first large-scope object is barred spiral galaxy NGC 2336 in Camelopardalis the Giraffe.

Such is the case with NGC 2832. It resides in galaxy cluster Abell 779, which lies less than 0.7° south-southwest of magnitude 3.1 Alpha (α) Lyncis. Although our target glows weakly at magnitude ...

Data from the XRISM X-ray satellite provide unprecedented detail on how ionized plasma moves in massive galaxy clusters — a question with huge cosmological and astrophysical implications.

Galaxies and clusters are the ensembles of stars and other astronomical objects bound together by gravitational forces. Galaxies are ordered into galaxy groups, which are in turn organised into ...

Researchers have solved the mystery of a galaxy cluster's rapid star formation. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, they studied the Phoenix cluster. This cluster, 5.8 billion light-years from ...
