A massive galaxy observed when the universe was less than two billion years old shows almost no rotation, defying the ...

Researchers have used the ALMA telescope and found old elliptical galaxies in the universe can form from intense star formation within early galaxy cores. An international team of researchers ...

It is as humbling as it is motivating to think about how much we still have to learn about the universe. My collaborators and I have just tackled one of astrophysics’ enduring mysteries: how massive ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a massive stellar bar in a distant galaxy, GN20, seen ...

Astronomers first detected the new FRB, dubbed FRB 20240209A, in February 2024 with the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME). For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio ...

Sci-fi tends to paint the edge of our galaxy as a desolate backwater, but in one early galaxy, the galactic rim is the bright, bustling center of activity, and the core is the aging backwater. The ...

Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have a flat disk, winding spiral arms and ongoing star formation. Ellipticals ...

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 ...

Schematic diagram shows how spheroid formation occurs in distant submillimetre-bright galaxies, and how this process connects to the evolution of giant elliptical galaxies in today's Universe. On the ...

Astronomers previously thought all FRBs were generated by magnetars formed through the explosions of very young, massive stars. But new FRB is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old ...
