The distribution of normal matter precisely determines gravitational acceleration in all common types of galaxies, a team led by Case Western Reserve University researchers reports. The team has shown ...

The vastness of space allows for a huge variety of structures to pop up all over the place. Even things we think of as one-and-done objects—like galaxies—come in quite a few shapes and sizes. Follow ...

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

In research published today, Australian scientists have taken a critical step towards understanding why different types of galaxies exist throughout the universe. The research, made possible by ...

Four galaxies crowd the center of a collapsing structure 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Each one is churning out stars at a pace that defies comparison with the present-day universe. Around ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

Astronomers have investigated three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies that are located in a region of space far away from the influence of larger planetary objects. The investigation was made possible by ...

New radio observations of molecular gas reveal how dozens of galaxies could have rapidly merged together in the early Universe.
