Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered a trove of complex organic molecules frozen in ice around a ...

The discovery indicates how galaxies could have grown quickly when the universe was very young, solving a long-standing ...

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

The discovery of a superheated star factory that forms stars 180 times faster than our own Milky Way could help solve a ...

In an unprecedented leap forward in our understanding of the universe’s origins, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially identified the earliest galaxy ever observed. This galaxy ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...

A team led by an astronomer from the University of Maryland has, for the first time, detected large complex organic molecules frozen in ice beyond the Milky Way, providing new insight into the ...

On April 24, 1990, all 24,000 pounds of the Hubble Space Telescope were tucked away inside the Discovery space shuttle when it launched into space. Thirty-five years later, NASA says Hubble has proven ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

A team of astronomers looking at galaxies in the universe’s distant past have discovered nine young, compact galaxies, each weighing in at 200 billion times the mass of the Sun. Imagine receiving an ...

Astronomers have uncovered a previously unknown, extreme kind of star factory by taking the temperature of a distant galaxy ...
