Understanding how the Milky Way formed means looking far beyond the bright spiral you see in the night sky. A new study led ...

Professor Woong-bae Zee of the College of Liberal Studies at Sejong University has revealed that a galaxy does not possess ...

How galaxies assemble their stars and grow over billions of years remains one of the central questions in astronomy. Recent ...

Astronomers may have uncovered the origins of the mysterious “little red dots,” some of the strangest galaxies seen in the early universe. These tiny but brilliant objects, discovered by the James ...

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 ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered Population III stars, the universe's first generation of stars. They may tell us more about how galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

Galaxies often have two layers: a thick disc filled with older stars and a thin disc with younger stars. Until now, scientists did not know when these two discs formed. The new research used JWST to ...

This infrared view offers the clearest look yet at how dwarf galaxies merge, evolve, trade gas and ignite waves of new stars.

Uncover the secrets of Milky Way formation. New research uses simulations to explain the mysterious chemical divide in our ...

Cosmic dawn galaxies seen by JWST reveal hidden clues about dark matter and keep rival theories about its true nature alive.

A grand-design spiral galaxy, named Alaknanda, was discovered forming approximately 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging previous astrophysical models on the timescale required for ...
