Ursa Major III was initially classified as an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy, and Keck's DEIMOS spectrograph measured the stars' motions. About 60 stars share almost the same velocity, confirming a bound ...

This article details our understanding of star and planet formation within galaxies, recognising the dynamic nature of ...

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 a groundbreaking study published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, scientists have reevaluated the nature of Ursa ...

Pictures are the key to new insights in the field of astrophysics. Such images include simulations of cosmic events, which ...

Ursa Major III/Unions 1 (UMa3/U1), the faintest known satellite of our galaxy, orbits the Milky Way at a distance of more ...

The discovery challenges how scientists previously thought galaxies formed.

Researchers say the discovery challenges current models of galaxy formation and suggests many early galaxies may be similarly clumpy, hidden from view until now.

An ALMA statement said: "Because existing simulations fail to reproduce such a large number of clumps in rotating galaxies at early times, this discovery raises key questions about how galaxies form ...

Through the simulations, the team also revealed the molecular structures of liquid carbon as it crystallized into graphite and then, separately, as liquid carbon crystallized into diamond.
