Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

The discovery of thousands more galaxies with stars ringing their main disks could help astronomers study galactic evolution ...

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 ...

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

Astronomers say they have identified a new type of astronomical object that challenges traditional ideas about how galaxies form.

In these simulations, the researchers began with a massive primordial black hole seed of about 50 million times the Sun’s mass, then followed how gas flowed into it, how stars formed nearby, and how ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered Population III stars, the universe's first generation of stars. They may tell us more about how galaxies form. When you purchase through links on our ...

A surprisingly mature spiral galaxy named Alaknanda has been spotted just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang—far earlier than astronomers believed such well-structured galaxies could form. With ...
