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 ...

The international team of astronomers discovered six massive, mature "candidate galaxies" in the early universe, according to a study published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature on Wednesday.

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 ...

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.

At that dating, these new galaxies would be some of the earliest galaxies that we have ever discovered, having existed just 200 million years after the events of the Big Bang.

Webb has been causing bafflement in the field of cosmology. But the problem isn't that the universe is broken — it's that early black holes were playing tricks.
