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

In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the University of Queensland have provided insights into the likely fate of our galaxy ...

In a nutshell Scientists have discovered Zhúlóng, a fully-formed spiral galaxy that existed just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, challenging our understanding of how quickly galaxies can ...

Most galaxies in the Universe are low-mass dwarf galaxies, the majority of which are satellites orbiting around a more massive galaxy, such as our Milky Way.

Astronomers have observed a galaxy dating to an earlier epoch in the universe's history that surprisingly is shaped much like our Milky Way - a spiral structure with a straight bar of stars and ...

The Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than scientists have previously been able to predict or observe, according to new research.

New research suggests that the Milky Way should be surrounded by as many as 100 undetected tiny and faint "orphan" galaxy companions.

Three simulations showing Milky Way and Andromeda bypass at 1 million light year separation. At 500,000 light-years, dark matter provides friction that brings galaxies to a close encounter.

There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to astronomers.

The Lambda Cold Dark Matter (LCDM) theory suggests that most galaxies are low-mass dwarf galaxies, many of which orbit larger galaxies like the Milky Way.

New research suggests that the Milky Way should be surrounded by as many as 100 undetected tiny and faint "orphan" galaxy companions.
