Galaxies may not be as simple as "young and blue" or "old and red." A new idea from astrophysicist Charles Steinhardt proposes a third type: red star-forming galaxies that break the mold. These galaxi ...

Euclid, a European space telescope, just captured 26 million galaxies to reveal the secrets of the dark universe.

Astronomers refer to them as quiescent, quenched, or "red and dead" galaxies. They appear red because they no longer contain ...

The DESI experiment shocked cosmologists with a hint that dark energy varies over time. Now, with more data, the conclusions hold up.

The color coding shows nearby bright galaxies (in yellow), luminous red galaxies (orange), emission-line galaxies (blue) and quasars (green). A slice of DESI's three-dimensional map of the ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) The SKA-Low telescope in Australia has released its first image, capturing an area of 25 square degrees and revealing 85 bright galaxies with supermassive black ...

So far Webb has revealed that, in fact, many bright galaxies existed at cosmic dawn, a period between 100 million years to 1 billion years after the Big Bang. Some scientists have posited that ...

GS-z13-1, marks the earliest sign yet spotted of the era of cosmic reionization at 330 million years after the Big Bang.

SPHEREx will begin routine science operations in late April, NASA said. At that time, the space telescope will begin taking ...

A bright star located in the Milky Way appears nestled in the distant galaxy NGC 5530 due to a chance alignment along the ...

This can be seen in the new Hubble image, which captures a bright ring around the galaxy’s nucleus. Another possible explanation for the rapid star birth is its proximity to other galaxies.

The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is mapping millions of celestial objects to better understand dark energy—the mysterious driver of our universe's accelerating expansion.
