galaxies

The galaxy belongs to a recently discovered, rare and unusual class of stellar systems known as ultracompact dwarfs.

They were created using data from nearly 1.7 billion stars.

Competing winds from black holes and stars wrestle to give this galaxy its strange butterfly shape.

The galaxies were around in the early stages of the universe, 13 billion years ago.

Scientists think the star was once part of a binary system until its companion exploded in a powerful supernova, causing it to be blasted off into space.

The Messier Catalog contains some of the most magnificent and beautiful sights in the Northern Hemisphere sky.

The galaxy, known as NGC 1277, is located 240 million light-years from Earth.

The fireworks are taking place about 350 million light-years away.

A fundamental equation has cracked the evolution of how planets swarm around the sun.

When massive stars come to the end of their life cycles, they self-destruct in a cataclysmic final explosion.

More than half of these "ultramassive" black holes have a mass 10 billion times greater than the Sun.

But its weight class just got shrunk.

Rosette Nebulae are red, O-type stars are blue...

Dark matter could make up around 80 percent of the mass in the universe.

The weird clouds could come from another galaxy.

The galaxies had been invisible to every other instrument that ever looked at them.

A cigar-shaped “prolate” galaxy is formed by the collision of two large galaxies at a specific angle.
