This intermediate spiral galaxy spans roughly 65,000 light-years—about half our own galaxy’s width, yet every bit as dynamic. At its core lurks a supermassive black hole weighing between 3 and 10 ...

Scientists have discovered a giant black hole that they believe may have been formed in the first few microseconds after the Big Bang. The black hole is so huge that it may change our understanding of ...

Astronomers continue to uncover galaxies that challenge traditional classifications. A recent study by Hubble Space Telescope observers, highlighted by NASA, showcases NGC 2775, a galaxy whose ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

The astronomers will continue to study these stars to learn more about their size and age, which will inform research into the process of star formation in Sagittarius B2. The new images still leave ...

This massive star-forming cloud is working surprisingly fast. A maelstrom of star formation close to the center of our galaxy has been revealed in two different wavelengths by the James Webb Space ...

Supported by NASA Universe of Learning STEM Literacy Network. Teams will demonstrate an understanding of Star and Galaxy Formation and Evolution. yt_xawyU_NCbEU ...

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 ...

A team of astronomers from Yonsei University and collaborating institutions has uncovered an isolated early-type dwarf galaxy that may have been ejected from its galactic group billions of years ago.
