Now, in a remarkable new image, researchers captured one of these cosmic filaments connecting two galaxies from when the universe was just 2 billion years old. It's the most detailed image of an ...

In what is the first discovery of an Einstein zig-zag lens in the universe, a team of international astronomers have sighted two galaxies which are aligned in a way where their gravity acts as a ...

In the century since Hubble’s pioneering work, astronomers like me have learned that the universe is vast and contains trillions of galaxies. In 1610, astronomer Galileo Galilei used the newly ...

First discovered in 2013, Leo P is relatively isolated from the influence of larger galaxies like the Milky Way and Andromeda. A team of researchers at the Space Telescope Science Institute ...

Galaxies are the building blocks of the universe. Clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters of galaxies, called superclusters, make up the structures in the geography of the universe. In this ...

By mapping the distribution of more than 450 million galaxies, SPHEREx will help scientists improve our understanding of the physics behind this extreme cosmic event. 2. The observatory will ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered 36 new dwarf galaxies around Andromeda and ongoing star formation within them, contradicting previous theories. They appear to undergo unique evolution ...
