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

The galaxy's discovery challenges our understanding of how galaxies were formed in the early period after the Big Bang.

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 ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered ...

Indian astronomers have identified a surprisingly mature, Milky Way-like galaxy from the universe’s early era. Named Alaknanda, the spiral system — visible thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope and ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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, ...

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

The filament is a part of the vast cosmic web composed primarily of dark matter and interspersed with lighter layers of ...

A sudden X-ray flare from a supermassive black hole in galaxy NGC 3783 sparks ultra-fast winds, offering new clues about ...
