In the intriguing realm of star-forming galaxies, the key factor isn't the total amount of gas but rather its strategic distribution within the galaxy.

The fundamental building blocks for planet formation can exist even in environments with extreme ultraviolet radiation, ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

NASA, using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and radio telescopes, discovered supermassive black holes in distant galaxies ...

The galaxy MoM-z14 dates back to 280 million years after the big bang, and the prevalence of such early galaxies is puzzling ...

But when scientists peer very far back, they find conundrums. JWST observations of the distant past are at odds with ...

A binary system 18,000 light-years away, emits X-rays as a Sun-like star orbits a dense companion, either a neutron star or black hole. Telescopes like Chandra, IXPE, and XMM-Newton capture its ...

When the JWST came to life and began observations, one of its first jobs was to gaze back in time at the early universe. The ...

The largest sample of galaxy groups ever detected has been presented by a team of international astronomers using data from ...

Among the wreckage of the Milky Way — where the violent deaths of stars usually leave chaos and crumpled shells — astronomers ...

Astronomical observations with the James Webb Space Telescope support the hypothesis that the first pronounced structures in our Universe may have formed much earlier than previously assumed.

U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers, using data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, have discovered an early universe supermassive black hole ...
