Astronomers have confirmed the earliest barred spiral galaxy in the universe, a Milky-Way-like structure that existed just 2 ...

All of the people and mountains and planets and stars that you see around you only make up 15% of the universe's mass. The ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

This is the reality for astronomers today, who are capturing faint signals that have traveled for over 13 billion years to reach Earth. These signals originate from a time when the universe was still ...

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny ...

An international team has discovered the most distant spiral galaxy candidate known to date. This ultra-massive system existed just one billion years after the Big Bang and already shows a remarkably ...
