A Rutgers-led team of scientists has uncovered evidence of how galaxies expand by tracing the invisible scaffolding of the ...

Astronomers using the Webb Telescope may have found a new type of object: cold, glowing black hole stars from the early ...

Using the wide-field survey capabilities of the Subaru Telescope, astronomers discovered active supermassive black holes, or quasars, in the distant universe and then studied them with the James Webb ...

A radical new theory regarding the origin of the universe suggests that gravitational waves, tiny ripples in spacetime first ...

Astronomers are using radio pulses from space to find missing baryonic matter and learn about supermassive black holes, ...

Astronomers at Penn State have nicknamed the objects “universe breakers,” which may be unusual black hole atmospheres and could represent a missing link in the fast growth of supermassive black holes.

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have stumbled upon a puzzling population of galaxies that look far too ...

When the "little red dots" were first discovered in 2022, scientists thought the objects might be galaxies as mature as the Milky Way, which is about 13.6 billion years old. That's because galaxies ...

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 ...

Astronomers use many methods to determine this number, including gravitational lensing, the universe’s expansion rate, and ...

Many civilizations have looked at the night sky and envisioned constellations to tell stories important to their culture. We can use the planetarium to look at some common patterns of stars in the ...

Astronomers peering back deep in time into the distant universe think they may have discovered a population of previous hidden galaxies that could shake up astrophysics. The research, based on data ...
