Recent research has uncovered a barred spiral galaxy formed 11.5 billion years ago, making it one of the earliest known galaxies that contains a stellar bar. The research was supported by Yingjie ...

Long strands of glowing gas stretch behind a distant galaxy, dotted with pockets of newborn stars. The shape looks almost ...

Study led by University of Bonn finds galaxy clusters contain about twice as much normal matter as previously estimated, based on recalculated stellar populations and survey data.

Under the leadership of the University of Bonn, a research team led by Prof. Dr. Pavel Kroupa from the Helmholtz Institute for Radiation and Nuclear Physics has discovered that galaxy clusters are ...

In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies ...

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

Artist’s impression of the thin stream of stars torn from the Phoenix globular cluster, wrapping around the Milky Way (left). Astronomers targeted bright red giant stars (artist’s impression, right) ...

Hubble captures a dazzling stellar nursery where newborn stars light up and carve their way through glowing clouds in a nearby galaxy.

A detailed infrared view of the Galactic Center region of our Milky Way Galaxy. These infrared images are sensitive to the presently forming massive stars there as well as the emission from cool ...

Scientists discovered that galaxy clusters are about twice as heavy as previously assumed. The additional mass comes mainly from neutron stars and stellar black holes and also explains the observed ...
