The formation and evolution of individual stars in a galaxy shape the evolution of the galaxy itself. Stars and stellar ...
ROSITA, a space-based X-ray telescope, is transforming our view of the Universe by scanning vast areas of the sky. X-rays are an invisible form of light produced by some of the hottest and most ...
For decades, astronomers have cast galaxy mergers as the universe's ultimate relationship drama: two galaxies collide, chaos ...
"This image from Euclid includes 51 known planetary systems – and it will assist in studying many more that will be found." ...
Most galaxy collisions do not cause galaxies to stop making new stars. A galaxy’s central black hole and its slow, long-term ...
The age of the Universe is usually presented as a simple number: about 13.8 billion years. It sounds settled, almost tidy.
A1689-zD1, a galaxy seen 700 million years after the Big Bang (background), with the ALMA-detected [O I] line shown as contours and a spectrum. This is one of four galaxies studied in this paper. In ...
Researchers from The University of Western Australia node at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) have uncovered a colossal bridge of neutral hydrogen gas linking two dwarf ...

Most massive galaxies stopped producing stars very early on in their lives—scientists find out why
Astronomers have observed that the most massive galaxies stopped producing stars early on in cosmic history, roughly one billion years after their formation. This has proved to be quite baffling for ...
Recently, the Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a dwarf galaxy in the constellation Ursa Major. Markarian 178 (Mrk 178) is one of over 1500 "Markarian galaxies," a class defined by their ...
The formation and evolution of galaxies are governed by the processes that assemble their mass and regulate the conversion of gas into stars. Over cosmic history, galaxies grow through the accretion ...
In the exurbs of the Milky Way, near a satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud, researchers have discovered the most metal-poor, chemically primitive star ever found, according to new ...
