Astronomers have recently uncovered evidence of “hidden galaxies,” a population of faint, dust-shrouded galaxies that could reshape our understanding of the universe. These galaxies, detected through ...

Researchers have discovered a group of galaxies that have so far been inaccessible to Earth-based telescopes. These "hidden" ...

Our new study of the nearby starburst galaxy Haro 11 has shown that strong X-ray-emitting superwinds may be a key mechanism ...

Astronomers using W. M. Keck Observatory on Maunakea, Hawaiʻi Island have found compelling evidence of a dark matter-deficient dwarf galaxy, FCC 224. This ultra-diffuse galaxy is located on the ...

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden population of galaxies that could rewrite what we know about the universe's evolution. These faint, dusty galaxies were discovered using the deepest ...

A team at Nagoya University in Japan has revealed new insights into the motion of massive stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud ...

The potential finds could be contributing to some of the faintest light we can see in the universe, say researchers.

A new computer simulation from NASA's Ames Research Center shows what galaxy mergers might look like over billions of years.

Galaxies may not be as simple as "young and blue" or "old and red." A new idea from astrophysicist Charles Steinhardt proposes a third type: red star-forming galaxies that break the mold. These galaxi ...

An analysis of star movements from the Gaia spacecraft reveals that the Small Magellanic Cloud — a satellite galaxy bound to ...

The universe remains a puzzle, full of shifting clues and unexpected revelations. In a new twist, scientists studying galaxy movements have uncovered signs that our cosmic neighborhood might be part ...

Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of 'hidden' galaxies that could hold the key to unlocking some of the universe's secrets. If their existence is confirmed it ...
