Look around you for a moment. Your phone, your house, the air you breathe, and even your own body are made of materials that ...

There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the known universe, but scientists still have a lot of questions about how galaxies form, grow and even die. Science Trek is available to stream on ...

Cold gas does not look dramatic at first glance. Neither does dust. Yet those two quiet ingredients sit at the center of a new effort to build a far more realistic picture of how galaxies formed. They ...

Astronomers discovered a third galaxy with almost no dark matter, offering new clues about galaxy formation and the ...

Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has ...

Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory puts that timeline at roughly 5 to 10 billion years in galaxies. Yet ...

A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist. Two astronomers from India have identified a ...

These fierce winds strip away star-forming gas, pushing early galaxies to the brink of death.

"Almost every galaxy in the universe is dominated by dark matter. But DF2, DF4, and now DF9 appear to be extraordinary ...

A galaxy appears to be missing the invisible substance thought to hold these objects together, further challenging long-held ...

Astronomers have discovered a huge reservoir of cold molecular gas, the direct fuel for star formation, in REBELS-25, a massive, star-forming galaxy. The team, led from Leiden University, focused on ...
