Current models of massive galaxy formation suggest that they evolve as part of a slow growth process, gradually increasing in size through mergers with smaller galaxies and the accumulation of clumps ...

In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made with the Atacama Large ...

A massive, rotating disk galaxy from the early universe has been discovered by an international team of astronomers. Galaxy DLA0817g, dubbed the "Wolfe Disk" after the late astronomer Arthur M. Wolfe, ...

A huge, rotating disc galaxy has been found deep in the universe – and challenges our understanding of galaxies. The disc was formed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier than predicted by ...

The astronomers found evidence by measuring the movement of the dense gas In a remarkable discovery, astronomers have found a rotating disc around a young star in our neighbouring galaxy. The ...
