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 ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have investigated 70 dusty galaxies at the very edge of the universe that ...

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

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

An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the ...

Dark matter doesn’t emit, absorb, or reflect light. It’s invisible but supposedly makes up 85% of the universe’s mass.

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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

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.
