If even a few of these objects turn out to be what we think they are, our discovery could challenge current ideas about how galaxies formed in the early universe,” said Haojing Yan, a University of ...

Seeing the invisible is not magic it’s engineering, one astronomer said when the James Webb Space Telescope’s Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI, presented its deepest-ever gaze at the Hubble Ultra Deep ...

Deep within the vast and boundless universe lies a series of breathtaking phenomena—cosmic voids, which appear as enormous ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths.

Images taken with the MIRI infrared camera on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made it possible to observe the ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star ...

Answers to some of cosmology's most pressing questions are obscured by simple dust. It concerns the Cosmic Noon, a period of ...

Galaxies And Star Formation The study of galaxies and star formation is a fundamental aspect of astrophysics, as it helps us understand the structure and evolution of the universe.

The impending merger of the two galaxies hints at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and ...

Because star formation emits a lot of light at the blue end of the color spectrum, astronomers refer to “blue” star-forming galaxies, “red” quiescent galaxies, and the “green valley ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.
