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 ...

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 ...

Small, compact galaxies seen in the early universe have puzzled astronomers – finding these unusual objects closer to home ...

There could be many more satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way than previously thought or observed, according to ...

These new findings add to the understanding of galaxy formation and it presents a more efficient method scientists hope to explore further. At Yale, Dokkum’s lab continues to study early massive ...

Astronomers have discovered oxygen and heavy elements in the earliest galaxy ever seen, suggesting some galaxies as early as 300 million years after the Big Bang matured early.

A team led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics discovered the most distant known fossil galaxy — a relic of ...

A new Hubble image of NGC 1786 reveals stars of multiple ages in the ancient cluster, challenging previous theories and offering new clues about galaxy evolution ...

The most distant and earliest "dead" massive galaxy ever seen shows some galaxies lived fast and died young shortly after the Big Bang.

The new results seem to have solved the biggest puzzle posed by the initial observations — that early galaxies appeared to be too massive — but cosmologists aren’t out of the woods yet.

There may be many more satellite galaxies in the Milky Way than have been observed, according to new Durham University ...

Galaxies, including the Milky Way, grow from thick, turbulent disks into layered structures. JWST’s images show this process began billions of years ago, revealing a common path in galactic evolution.
