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 ...

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 ...

A paper published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, details the discovery of a grand-design spiral galaxy that formed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Grand design galaxies are similar to the ...

NASA confirms galaxy MoM-z14 observed by the James Webb Space Telescope formed 280 million years after the Big Bang using ...

Astronomers spotted nine galaxies with characteristics that have never been seen as a collection before. It's possible this is a newly found type of star-forming galaxy. When you purchase through ...

How do you find a galaxy that never formed? The standard cosmological model predicts the existence of “failed” galaxies — clumps of dark matter that captured gas but never birthed a star. Because they ...

From your place inside the Milky Way, you are living within a galaxy that keeps a detailed chemical diary. Every star holds clues about when it formed and what the galaxy was like at the time. Over ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made a groundbreaking discovery that could validate long-held assumptions about the early universe. The discovery, detailed in a recent ...

Hubble has revealed a strange cosmic object called Cloud-9, a dark matter–dominated cloud with no stars at all. Scientists believe it is a “failed galaxy,” a leftover building block from the early ...

From our vantage point inside it, the Milky Way can feel infinite, a hazy river of light that wraps around the sky. Yet when astronomers measure it carefully, our home galaxy turns out to be a ...

The object is considered a relic from the early universe because it was unable to accumulate enough gas to create stars. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the object is devoid of stars after it ...
