The first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. A team had found a small, strange galaxy that appeared to ...

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

The discovery made by a large research team challenges the existing models of the universe.

In the vast darkness of the early universe, a spiral of light named Zhúlóng offers a new glimpse into cosmic history. This galaxy, shaped like our Milky Way, formed just a billion years after the Big ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...
