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

Long strands of glowing gas stretch behind a distant galaxy, dotted with pockets of newborn stars. The shape looks almost ...

An international team of astronomers has performed multi-wavelength observations of the nearby Araish galaxy to investigate ...

The studied galaxy existed about 930 million years ago after the Big Bang. Even though this might sound like a long time ago, in universe terms this is not ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

Astro Brief is a collaboration between KSMU, the Missouri Space Grant, and MSU's Department of Physics, Astronomy and ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

How do you find a galaxy that never formed? The standard cosmological model predicts the existence of “failed” galaxies — clumps of dark matter that captured gas but never birthed a star. Because they ...
