Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the 'inside-out' growth of a galaxy in the early universe, only 700 million years after the Big Bang. Astronomers have ...

Galaxies are not islands in the cosmos. While globally the universe expands—driven by the mysterious "dark energy"—locally, galaxies cluster through gravitational interactions, forming the cosmic web ...

Astronomers have discovered a "galaxy-killing wind" that may explain why there are far more massive "dead" galaxies than expected in the early universe. This wind, powered by cosmic collisions between ...

Scientists led by a team from the University of Chicago recently released a study that mapped some of the largest known objects in the universe. The study may help scientists test theories about how ...

Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is constantly vibrating. This background rumble is likely caused by ...

A five-year survey of the sky that has captured more than 47 million galaxies and quasars is now complete, enabling researchers to put the finishing touches on the most detailed map of the universe ...
