NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have teamed up to identify a new possible example of a ...

Black holes played a critical role in the formation of the early universe. However, astronomers have been debating for a long ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in ...

Here are 7 stunning images of deep space and distant galaxies, all captured by NASA’s powerful telescopes. These photos show ...

The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope could target tiny and bright galaxies in the early universe to unveil some secrets about the universe's most mysterious stuff, dark matter.

The earliest galaxies are thought to have formed as the gravitational pull of dark matter, which has been impossible to study directly, slowly drew in enough hydrogen and helium to ignite stars.

When researchers glimpsed the first images and data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), humanity’s largest and most powerful space telescope, they noticed something peculiar. A large number of ...

In its debut, the telescope turned its eye toward two familiar showstoppers in deep space: the Trifid and Lagoon nebulas in ...

Yet, in 2023, the JWST spotted a shocking number of large and bright galaxies just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only around 3% of its current age of 13.8 billion years.

“Astronomers invented dark matter to explain how you get from a very smooth early universe to big galaxies with lots of empty space between them that we see today,” said Dr. Stacy McGaugh, who is a ...
