For decades, astronomers have known that supermassive black holes lurk at the hearts of essentially all large galaxies, occasionally feasting on infalling material and burping out powerful jets. But ...

Astronomers announced the discovery of a starless cloud of hydrogen gas, a pristine relic of the cosmos that is almost as old as time itself. By Katrina Miller The universe continues to surprise those ...

The object is considered a "failed galaxy" from the early universe that did not form stars. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope helped confirm the discovery. The discovery provides a rare opportunity to ...

The object is considered a relic from the early universe because it was unable to accumulate enough gas to create stars. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope confirmed the object is devoid of stars after it ...

Astronomers say they have identified a new type of astronomical object that challenges traditional ideas about how galaxies form. Using data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, scientists studied a ...
