If you’ve been reading this column lately, you might have noticed a recent trend where I try to answer some deceptively ...

The Universe still holds many mysteries, and galaxies are no exception. A new category of galaxies, neither blue nor red, ...

Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its home galaxy ripping a star to shreds — providing, for the ...

The huge elliptical galaxy ESO 325-G004 shone 10,000 times brighter when it formed than it does today. These types of galaxies briefly lit up the entire universe – and contributed to the background ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy. And the image ...

There are many different types of galaxies in the universe. Spiral galaxies like our own are just one type, and each galaxy variant can come in a variety of sizes. These new galaxies are what are ...

Researchers believe the SMC can act as a model for the types of galaxies that existed early in the universe, ones with lower mass and lower concentrations of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium.

The researchers believe the cloud is held together by a massive dark matter halo, making it an ideal dark galaxy candidate — a theoretical type of galaxy made mostly of dark matter, with little ...

In particular, GCs could help researchers to better understand the formation, history and evolution of early-type galaxies, as the origin of GCs seems to be closely linked to periods of intense ...

Dwarf galaxies are the most abundant type of galaxies that populate the Universe. Composed of 100 times fewer stars than the Milky Way, or even less, they are the building blocks of more massive ...
