In an unprecedented leap forward in our understanding of the universe’s origins, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially identified the earliest galaxy ever observed. This galaxy ...

The universe's first galaxies were hot messes, according to a recent study. During their younger days, they were wild, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges our understanding of the early ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...

"To make progress towards a theory of galaxy formation, it is crucial to compare results and codes from different simulations. We have now done this by bringing together competing code groups behind ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...

This illustration provided by the European Southern Observatory in February 2024, depicts the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

The study of galaxies and star formation is a fundamental aspect of astrophysics, as it helps us understand the structure and evolution of the universe. Recent research has focused on various aspects ...

Sometimes, Hubble or other telescopes will capture two or more galaxies that are in the process of merging — called interacting galaxies. These huge collisions can warp one or both of the galaxies, ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
