A global team led by UMass Amherst identified dusty, star-forming galaxies nearly 13 billion years old, bridging gaps between ...

Recent research has uncovered a barred spiral galaxy formed 11.5 billion years ago, making it one of the earliest known galaxies that contains a stellar bar. The research was supported by Yingjie ...

Astronomers have uncovered a hidden population of dusty galaxies that formed just one billion years after the Big Bang, offering a new glimpse into the universe’s formative years. An international ...

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

Scientists have discovered that active supermassive black holes don't just kill their home galaxies, but can also eradicate ...

The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international ...

Scientific advancements have made it possible to peek into a faraway galaxy that has big implications.

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 ...

The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow bigger and bigger until they become the giant galaxies we see in the modern ...

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...
