Deep in the frozen heart of Antarctica, the South Pole Telescope has been watching one of the most extreme neighborhoods in our galaxy, and it's just caught something extraordinary happening there.

NASA and ESA release a Hubble image of NGC 7722 showing dust lanes, rings, and supernova follow-up observations in a lenticular galaxy.

"When Arp 220 is observed as a whole, it's one of the best places in the universe for astronomers to study how gravity, star formation, and powerful winds work together with strong magnetic fields to ...

Scientists continue to push the boundaries of astronomy and cosmology, thanks to next-generation instruments that can see farther and clearer than ever before. Through these efforts, astronomers have ...

Molecular clouds are huge masses of gas and dust that are remnants of galaxy formation.

Using the high resolution images from the NIRCam (Near-InfraRed Camera) instrument onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have spotted one of the earliest barred spiral ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured imagery of spiral galaxy UGC 2890. The "galaxy lies around 30 million light-years away in the constellation Camelopardalis," according to the Hubble team.

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 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 ...

Research led by Daniel Ivanov, a physics and astronomy graduate student in the Kenneth P. Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences at Pitt, uncovered a contender for one of the earliest observed spiral ...

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 ...
