Astronomers produced the most complete map of the center of the Milky Way, which can provide insight into how stars and planets are formed.

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an ...

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...

While nearly all massive galaxies possess central black holes, the presence of such black holes in dwarf galaxies remains an open question, with previous estimates identifying them in only 0.5% of ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity ...

Findings from a Rochester Institute of Technology study provide further evidence that the outskirts of spiral galaxies host massive black holes. These overlooked regions are new places to observe ...

For all the impressive maps astronomers have made of the distant universe, much of the action has stayed out of sight. The brightest galaxies were relatively easy to chart. The faint hydrogen glow ...
