The discovery of dormant galaxies, located in the first billion years after the Big Bang, is shaking up our understanding of galaxy evolution. This remarkable finding comes from the cutting-edge ...

An array of 350 radio telescopes in the Karoo desert of South Africa is getting closer to detecting "cosmic dawn"—the era after the Big Bang when stars first ignited and galaxies began to bloom.

The discovery, made with the LOFAR (LOw Frequency ARray) radio instrument in Europe, indicates that galaxy clusters, which ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to ...

Astronomers discovered a large haul of massive galaxies from the early universe. The find is surprising, and may prompt a rethink of how large galaxies form.

The dwarf galaxies are believed to be around 12 billion years old, meaning their stars formed early in the universe's history, under 2 billion years after the Big Bang.

To understand the evolution of several of these early universe, "teenage" galaxies, a Northwestern University-led team of astrophysicists have inspected data from the James Webb Space Telescope ...
