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 ...

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 ...

A computational model of the early-to-present-day Universe predicts that some of the first stars formed in structures that challenge conventional classification. Read the paper: The emergence of ...

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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the most distant galaxy ever observed, MoM-z14, offering new insight into star formation and galaxy growth in the early universe ...

Scientists have discovered one of the largest spinning structures ever observed in the Universe, an enormous cosmic formation in which galaxies appear to rotate in sync with the vast filament that ...

A surprisingly mature spiral galaxy named Alaknanda has been spotted just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang—far earlier than astronomers believed such well-structured galaxies could form. With ...

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The newly discovered structure exhibits ...

Scientists have discovered Alaknanda, a so-called "grand design" spiral galaxy, just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Credit: NASA / CSA / ESA / Rashi Jain For decades, astronomers believed ...
