The Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy located approximately 163,000 light-years away, is on a collision course with the Milky Way with which it will...
Supermassive black holes that lurk at the center of most galaxies are surrounded by coronas — mysterious features that are sources of highly energetic...
Dark matter is a mysterious substance that makes up about 85% of the matter in the Universe. It does not emit any kind of electromagnetic radiation and...
A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the core and the innermost parts of the spiral arms of a galaxy called Messier 100.
This Hubble...
The standard cosmological model known as LambdaCDM can only explain 5% of the observable Universe. The remaining 95% is famously made up almost entirely...
Astronomers believe that our Universe began forming the first stars when it was a few hundred million years old. Since then, the Universe has become a...
Globular clusters are ancient groups of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stars, gravitationally bound into a single structure about 100-200 light-years...
These threads of red snaking amidst dark, turbulent clouds make up a cosmic object known as SNR 0454-67.2. This tangled web is actually the remnants from...
Astronomers using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have determined that a massive group of galaxies called Abell 1033 is actually two galaxy...
WISE J224607.55-052634.9 (W2246-0526 for short), the most luminous galaxy ever discovered, is accreting (eating) at least three of its smaller neighbors,...
Astronomers using data from ESA’s Gaia satellite have discovered a new dwarf satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The dwarf galaxy, named Antlia 2, is...
Galaxy clusters are some of the most massive objects that can be found in the Universe. A new image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows one...
A team of astronomers led by Michael Koss of Eureka Scientific Inc. has observed several pairs of galaxies in the final stages of merging together into...
A new study, published in the Astrophysical Journal, suggests that if a 1- to 2-megawatt (MW) laser were focused through a 30- to 45-m telescope and aimed...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimetre Array (ALMA) have observed a supermassive black hole acting like a ‘monumental fountain’...
