Hubble Detects Uber-Strong Radio Transmission From Ancient "Blob"

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the possible birthplace of the most distant fast radio burst ever observed.
The fast radio burst originated from a group of at least seven galaxies that existed when the universe was five billion years old.

What JWST found in the extreme outer Milky Way

JWST's observations spotlight new star formation in the galaxy's sparse outskirts, revealing the potential for future solar systems.

What created more light: the Big Bang or stars?

The Universe, 13.8 billion years old, contains an estimated 6 to 20 trillion galaxies, with much of its star-formation history rooted in the past.

Look! This Warped Galaxy Is Erupting With New Stars From Inside Its Tail

Galaxy AM 1054-325 has a distorted shape due to its close encounter with another galaxy.

Does dark matter interact non-gravitationally at all?

Dark matter and dark energy are essential components to explain discrepancies between observations and traditional cosmic models.

Simulations reveal the hidden behaviors of dark matter

A new theory suggests that colder dark matter moved at slow velocities while standard matter streamed past it at supersonic speeds, leading to the formation of small, bright galaxies earlier than previously thought.
The presence of small, bright galaxies in the early universe would confirm the cold dark matter model, as only the velocity between two types of matter can produce this type of galaxy.

Hubble Snaps Alarming Pic of Two Galaxies Crashing Into Each Other

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of two massive galaxies colliding with each other.
This collision, known as 'Arp 122,' could eventually form a singular structure of dust, gas, and dark matter in hundreds of millions of years.
