Black holes are notorious for gobbling up everything that comes their way, but astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have discovered that even supermassive black ...

Researchers may have identified what could be a compelling clue in the ongoing hunt to prove the existence of dark matter. A mysterious diffuse glow of gamma rays near the center of the Milky Way has ...

Something unusual may have risen from the ashes of an epic smashup. In the middle of a galaxy shaped like an infinity symbol — thought to be the result of two galaxies colliding — sits a supermassive ...

A team of astronomers have discovered a curious figure in the universe. It is two distant galaxies colliding with each other to form a larger structure. From Earth’s perspective, the junction of the ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a "figure-eight" galaxy with a possible newborn supermassive black hole (SMBH). This SMBH may have formed quickly from a colliding gas cloud, unlike the ...

What happens when two rare ring galaxies collide? They form an infinity symbol—or the face of a cosmic owl, depending on how you look at it. The James Webb Space Telescope has helped two international ...

Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve. When ...

It's another step on the road to one day discovering what dark matter could be. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. NASA's James Webb ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of the early universe. While studying the distant galaxy cluster known as ...
