Hubble Telescope captures a galaxy's 'forbidden' light in stunning new image
The Hubble Telescope viewed a distant galaxy whose light appears to contradict some of the most common rules of quantum physics.
Intergalactic 'stream of stars' 10 times longer than the Milky Way is the 1st of its kind ever spotted
While hunting for dark matter, astronomers accidentally discovered the first known stellar stream stretching between galaxies. The trail of stars is also the longest ever seen.
'Teenage' galaxies from the early universe contain mysterious heavy elements, James Webb telescope reveals
A sample of galaxies dating to the first 2 to 3 billion years of the universe contain much heavier elements, and appear to be far hotter, than scientists expected.
James Webb telescope discovers 2 of the oldest galaxies in the universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a cosmic 'peanut' and 'fluff ball' that happen to be two of the four oldest galaxies in the known universe.
James Webb telescope discovers 'Cosmic Vine' of 20 connected galaxies sprawling through the early universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a massive chain of 20 galaxies in the early universe, raising questions about the formation of the largest structures in the cosmos.
Tiny galaxies that had their stars stolen could be a 'missing link' in cosmic evolution
More than 100 observed galaxies are being disrupted and stripped of their outer layers, transforming them into fossil-dense, ultra-compact dwarf galaxies.
James Webb telescope's observations of 'impossible' galaxies at the dawn of time may finally have an explanation
A new set of simulations suggests that the unusual brightness of early galaxies discovered by the James Webb telescope could be because of a strange, rapid-burst mode of star formation.
Space photo of the week: Hubble spies a spectacular galaxy crash
Arp 107 hosts a special spiraling 'Seyfert' galaxy connected to a smaller galaxy by a 'bridge' of dust and gas.
Stunningly perfect 'Einstein ring' snapped by James Webb telescope is most distant gravitationally lensed object ever seen
The James Webb Space Telescope has snapped a stunning image of a perfectly formed Einstein ring, which is also the most distant gravitationally lensed object ever detected.
