Galaxies by intermittent ring releases of stellar seeds from two attached galactic seeds (double disc galaxy, Type 3–1). (a) no rotation of the two galactic seeds Ω1.1 = 0, (b) —(e) rotation by Ω1.1 = ...

The Universe is chock-full of oddities: stars that blink in and out without explanation, galaxies that eat one another, black holes gone rogue. It's no surprise that among the billions of galaxies out ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled the intriguing galaxy NGC 2775, characterized by a mind-bending shape that challenges astronomers’ understanding of galaxy formation and classification. NGC ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s first picture released to the public showed off thousands of galaxies. At first glance, the pinpoints of light shining in the blackness of space look like little stars ...

The night sky has always played a crucial role in navigation, from early ocean crossings to modern GPS. Besides stars, the United States Navy uses quasars as beacons. Quasars are distant galaxies with ...

Studying the evolution and anatomy of galaxies using the Hubble Space Telescope, an international team of astronomers led by doctoral candidate BoMee Lee and her advisor Mauro Giavalisco at the ...

A computer simulation recently produced a rare type of galaxy completely by accident, and it’s pushing astronomers to rethink how these galaxies form and how rare they really are. We usually think of ...

The standard cosmology can answer almost nothing about how the structure of a galaxy is formed. It expects a supermassive black hole at the center and dark matter in the halo to explain the ...
