Discover how JWST's groundbreaking observations of the oldest galaxies reveal new insights into early galaxies discovery and transform our understanding of galaxy formation.

Astronomers have discovered a previously hidden "cosmic fuel tank" in an infant cluster of forming galaxies. This vast reservoir of cool molecular gas is found in the protocluster known as SPT2349-56, ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

"We know these monster black holes exist at the center of galaxies near our Milky Way, but the big surprise now is that they were present at the beginning of the universe." When you purchase through ...

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 ...

"To make progress towards a theory of galaxy formation, it is crucial to compare results and codes from different simulations. We have now done this by bringing together competing code groups behind ...

The European Space Agency's Euclid mission—designed to map the geometry of the dark universe with unprecedented ...

A dwarf galaxy appears responsible for some of the universe’s most intense fast radio bursts. In A Nutshell Astronomers ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...

Sci-fi tends to paint the edge of our galaxy as a desolate backwater, but in one early galaxy, the galactic rim is the bright, bustling center of activity, and the core is the aging backwater. The ...

The study of galaxies and star formation is a fundamental aspect of astrophysics, as it helps us understand the structure and evolution of the universe. Recent research has focused on various aspects ...
