Researchers have found a razor-thin, rotating string of galaxies inside a massive cosmic filament, revealing unexpected ...

A newly-detected spinning galaxy filament is reshaping our understanding of cosmic structure, gas flows, and the origins of ...

Razor-thin chain of 14 galaxies may be the biggest spinning structure yet ...

The object in question is a cosmic filament, a thread-like chain of gas that is about 5.5 million light-years in length and ...

Clues about how galaxies like our Milky Way form and evolve and why their stars show surprising chemical patterns have been ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a new kind of galactic portrait, revealing a luminous thread of gas and newborn ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Although they have been ignored until recently by cosmologists, dwarf galaxies might answer some of scientists’ questions about star formation and the development of the universe, said Evan Skillman, ...

New findings from a large survey of galaxies suggest that star formation is largely driven by the supply of raw materials, rather than by galactic mergers that trigger sudden bursts of star formation.

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...

Images taken using the Hubble Space Telescope have given astronomers clues about the formation and growth of the first galaxies, suggesting that early star formation happened in violent bursts. A team ...
