Among the important findings is the discovery of very young galaxies that already looked like their more senior counterparts in the local universe ... this is the most distant galaxy with a ...

Newly discovered Quipu, a superstructure in which galaxies group together in clusters and clusters of clusters, is the ...

Like the Milky Way, it’s a spiral galaxy, but the distance between the two local giants may not be as great as previously thought. Presented at the American Astronomical Society meeting in ...

In 1920, astronomers Harlow Shapley and Heber Curtis held a Great Debate. Shapley argued that the spiral nebulae were small ...

These distant celestial bodies are so far away that even the strongest telescopes are usually incapable of distinguishing between the many stars contained within a galaxy. In an exciting turn of ...

Researchers say they are puzzled over the discovery. Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of ...

Isolated, low-mass galaxies help researchers study the impact of reionization on their star formation histories (SFHs) ...

Take, for instance, one such fast radio burst astronomers recently tracked to the distant outskirts of a long-dead galaxy. Based on what scientists thought they knew about fast radio bursts ...

Astronomers have detected fast-repeating radio bursts from a distant "dead" galaxy that should not contain the energy to produce these types of signals, according to new research. The source of ...
