Galaxies like the Milky Way grow by merging with smaller galaxies over billions of years, unlike dwarf galaxies, which have long been thought to lack the heft to attract mass and grow in the same way.
The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration. At the same time several telescopes, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in ...
The work has revealed that Andromeda is a lot more chaotic than expected. Similar to what recently retired Gaia did for the ...
The “ghost towns,” named Sculptor A, B, and C, consist of three faint and ultra-faint galaxies about 6.5 million light-years ...
The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football," according to the Chandra X-ray ...
Hubble revealed a universe of galaxies that existed beyond ours — but he couldn't have done it without a little help.
In any globular cluster, all its stars formed at the same time, from the same cloud of gas. The Milky Way has more than 150 known globular clusters; these objects are excellent tools for studying, for ...
The Andromeda galaxy is a colossal marvel in our sky, hosting over 1 trillion stars. Now, astronomers have used the Hubble ...
