Using the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), Chinese astronomers have identified nearly 300 ...

A new study suggests galaxies in the early universe appear much larger and brighter than expected, precisely as predicted by ...

The Milky Way, the Andromeda Galaxy, and their retinue of a few dozen smaller galaxies make up what astronomers call the Local Group. In recent decades, it has become clear that most galaxies are ...

If another gravity theory is correct, "then the broader implications are enormous," astrophysicist Stacy McGaugh told ...

Large galaxies, like the Milky Way, attract smaller galaxies. Our solar system's cosmic neighborhood spans 100,000 ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

The Milky Way has several satellite galaxies and is part of the Local Group of galaxies, which form part of the Virgo Supercluster, which is itself a component of the Laniakea Supercluster.

"Very little is known about what causes the formation of magnetars," researcher Kritti Sharma said. "Our work helps to answer this question." ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

A new map of the "Cosmic Web" that shaped the universe shows points of gravitational attraction in the local universe called ... gravity dominates and draws galaxies together in greater detail ...

Hubble's recent capture, MCG+05-31-045 in the Coma cluster, illustrates the evolution of galaxies under extreme gravitational forces. This interaction, typical for dense galaxy clusters, demonstrates ...
