You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...

Two space telescopes really are better than one. This month NASA released a new image that combines observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory of two ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. Most galaxies are carried outward with the flow ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.

This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American Last month when scientists announced new ...

What: New analyses using early observations from the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission examine how galaxy mergers ...

Recently, two NASA space telescopes, the James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory, captured images of two galaxies beginning to collide. NASA released a composite image showing both ...

Astronomers have used powerful adaptive optics technology at the W. M. Keck Observatory in Hawaii to reveal the precise locations and environments of a pair of supermassive black holes at the center ...
