Just looking at a single image of NGC 6872, you can't help but be impressed. The barred spiral galaxy appears to be quite different than our own Milky Way, with two long tendrils of stars emanating ...

A baby galaxy is throwing one heck of a tantrum, and it's shaking up our understanding of the earliest galaxies.

The most distant carbon ever seen has been discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in a galaxy that we see as it existed just 350 million years after the Big Bang. The detection is notable ...

Astronomers have identified the oldest known spiral galaxy in the universe, which was formed around 12.4 billion years ago, after rediscovering a fuzzy, forgotten photo taken by the Atacama Large ...

This optical (blue) and NASA's Chandra X-ray (red-orange) composite image shows Abell 2029, a cluster of galaxies where the galaxy at the center, IC 1101, is the largest known galaxy in the Universe.

(CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the oldest "dead" galaxy ever observed while studying the cosmos with the James Webb Space Telescope, and it's one of the deepest views into the distant universe made ...

Looking out into the universe with a telescope means looking back in time, as the speed of light is so slow that even the light of nearby stars in our own galaxy takes years or millennia to reach us.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently observed a tiny galaxy that existed approximately 500 million years after the Big Bang, or more than 13 billion years ago, whose discovery was ...

Since it began collecting data, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has shined a light on the early universe, helping us better understand the timeline of events that led to our modern-day cosmos.

A team of astronomers from the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) has released new data from an ...

A recent breakthrough in astronomical research,published in Nature Astronomy, has provided a detailed glimpse into the internal structure of an ancient galaxy, thanks to one of the strongest ...
