The standard cosmological model (present-day version of "Big Bang," called Lambda-CDM) gives an age of the universe close to 13.8 billion years and much younger when we explore the universe at ...

New radio observations of molecular gas reveal how dozens of galaxies could have rapidly merged together in the early Universe.

The biggest objects in the universe are clusters of galaxies, such as the supercluster we live in right now - and including Abell 370, which was captured in a sprawling glittery space-scape by the ...

An international team of astronomers has uncovered multiple evolutionary paths for the universe's most massive galaxies. Observations of ultramassive galaxies, each containing more than 100 billion ...

Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, ESA’s Euclid space observatory, and Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope, the researchers discovered faint light emitting around the clusters. That light was clear ...

Where are the smallest galaxies? A recent study suggests that there may not be as nearly as many of them in the early universe as there should be, which has big implications for the story of how our ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from Cambridge studied over 250 galaxies and found most were turbulent, still forming ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed yet another marvel from deep in outer space. A galaxy named MoM-z14 has taken the title of most distant galaxy the telescope has captured. It is a ...
