Present-day disk galaxies often exhibit distinct thin and thick disks. The formation mechanisms of the two disks and the timing of their onset remain open...
Using data from several space- and ground-based telescopes, NASA astronomers have captured a stunning new image of the Andromeda galaxy, which is the closest...
Astronomers have used the unprecedented sensitivity of the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope in the thermal...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shot this image of UGC 11397, a barred spiral galaxy that is hosting an actively growing supermassive black hole.

Intense radiation from a quasar in one of these galaxies alters the gas properties in the other galaxy and dampens its ability to form new stars, according...
Mars hosts various auroral processes despite the planet’s tenuous atmosphere and lack of a global magnetic field. To date, all aurora observations have...
The Hubble team has produced a spectacular new image of the intermediate spiral galaxy NGC 3511.
This Hubble image shows NGC 3511, an intermediate spiral...
Water ice heavily influences the formation of giant planets and may also be delivered by comets to fully formed rocky planets. Using data from the Near-Infrared...
