This illustration shows a galaxy forming only a few hundred million years after the big bang, when gas was a mix of transparent and opaque during the Era of Reionization. Data from NASA’s James Webb ...

The universe's first galaxies were hot messes, according to a recent study. During their younger days, they were wild, ...

Researchers have uncovered where FRBs are more likely to occur in the universe -- massive star-forming galaxies rather than low - mass ones. Since their discovery in 2007, fast radio bursts -- ...

Post-starburst galaxies seem to be behaving very unusually. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. There's something weird going on in ...

New data suggests that post-starburst galaxies hold onto and compress large amounts of highly-concentrated, turbulent gas, but not to form stars as expected. The new data from the Atacama Large ...

Dark matter, the invisible material that makes up the vast majority of the universe's mass, may collect itself to form atoms, a new simulation shows. Those "dark atoms" might radically alter the ...

The red shade shows the atomic hydrogen gas content of the galaxy, overlaid on the optical image. The atomic gas that is outside the white circle does not contribute significantly to the formation of ...

Astronomers may finally have laid eyes on a population of enormous but elusive galaxies in the early universe. These hefty, star-forming galaxies are shrouded in dust, which hid them from previous ...

Almost all the light we see in the universe comes from stars which form inside dense clouds of gas in the interstellar medium. The rate at which they form (referred to as the star formation rate, or ...

If we were to divide the galaxies in the universe by color, we would notice that they are either bluish or yellow/orange/red, and the color depends on the number of new stars they are producing. You ...
