The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

The XRISM spacecraft has captured the dramatic awakening of a supermassive black hole, IRAS 05189-2524, as it fires cosmic bullets into a starburst galaxy. This extraordinary discovery offers an ...

Scientists observe a dramatic collision between two planets, offering insights into the formation of Earth's Moon 4.5 billion years ago.

These three galaxy images from the AEGIS survey show a range of galaxy types: a disk-like spiral galaxy (top), a cloud-like elliptical galaxy (middle), and an irregular galaxy resulting from a ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...
