It spans …
A group of international astronomers have used data from the James Webb Space Telescope to report the discovery of the first confirmed galaxies to date. In work, which NASA says has yet to be peer-reviewed, scientists found that light from these galaxies took more than 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, as the galaxies date …

Astronomers have confirmed that four ancient galaxies detected by the James Webb Space Telescope in its first months of operation are the oldest scientists have ever seen and nearly as old as the universe itself. The galaxies were among hundreds of promising stellar conglomerates found in images from the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) aboard the …

Andromeda, the Milky Way’s neighboring spiral galaxy, may be a cosmic cannibal that grew by swallowing smaller galaxies. Astronomers came to this conclusion by observing a globular cluster of stars called the Dulais Structure, named after the Welsh term meaning “dark stream”, which now dwells in Andromeda but seems to come from outside galaxy. The …

Researchers led by the University of Cambridge were able to make some observations of the earliest galaxies to exist using data from India’s SARAS3 radio telescope. In one of the first astrophysical studies of the period of the Primitive universe, known as the Cosmic Dawn, researchers were able to observe the very first Universe and …

Some black holes release enormous, extremely bright jets of high-energy particles into space – yes, black holes, the epitome of darkness, cause some of the brightest lights in space. Specifically, some gigantic black holes around which most galaxies are built. While many of these galactic black holes are relatively docile, like the one at the …
