Galaxy merger is a crucial process in galactic evolution that has happened since the first galaxies came into being. Now JWST ...

The new study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, focused on the Hubble Legacy Archive and a dataset built from it: 99.6 ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

Scientists have confirmed that colossal collisions between galaxies trigger titanic eruptions in the centers of those galaxies, and the discovery is thanks to an artificial intelligence tool that was ...

In a new study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of astronomers has uncovered extraordinary details ...

Polarized light observations from ALMA reveal the magnetic structures and galactic outflows in Arp 220, the nearest ultraluminous infrared galaxy to Earth, providing detailed field maps.

When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and other telescopes have shown what appears to be a supermassive black hole forming right between two merging galaxies. There have been multiple ...

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. The newly discovered structure exhibits ...

In this 2012 visualization, the Andromeda galaxy (left) appears in Earth's skies and begins to distort the Milky Way as the two galaxies merge. This hypothetical scenario was previously expected to ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
