The European Space Agency (ESA) has officially adopted its new galactic archaeology mission, Arrakihs, set to launch by the ...

There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the known universe, but scientists still have a lot of questions about how galaxies form, grow and even die. Science Trek is available to stream on ...

Cold gas does not look dramatic at first glance. Neither does dust. Yet those two quiet ingredients sit at the center of a new effort to build a far more realistic picture of how galaxies formed. They ...

NSF VLA and ALMA observations detect enormous cold molecular gas reserves in a distant galaxy seen 13 billion years ago.

Magnetic fields that stretch across thousands of light-years should take a very long time to organize. Standard dynamo theory puts that timeline at roughly 5 to 10 billion years in galaxies. Yet ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have captured the most detailed look yet at how galaxies formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang – and found they were far ...

A new study suggests that some of the Universe’s earliest giant galaxies may have lived dramatic lives. They began as dusty ...

Above a certain threshold, galaxies stop growing , no matter how much raw material they have on hand. The question is: what ...

Observations of "Little Red Dot" ancient galaxies by the James Webb Space Telescope could answer the question: which comes first, the black hole or its galaxy?

In recent years, very massive but dead galaxies were found unexpectedly early in the universe. Now there might be an explanation for this.
