A new simulation released by NASA’s Ames Research Institute reveals a stunning vision of the evolution of a galaxy. Blue influx gases, white stars and red satellite galaxies are shown moving thousands ...

In collaboration with the US' Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers from Maynooth University in Ireland have unveiled a new computer simulation that mirrors early universe conditions, ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

A small group of young researchers at the Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, have, through ...

Image: Snapshots of the time evolution of a collision of two spiral galaxies with black holes at their center from a computer simulation. Color indicates temperature and brightness the gas density.

In a feat of galactic archeology, astronomers are using ever more detailed information to trace the origin of our galaxy—and to learn about how other galaxies formed in the early stages of the ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare starless galaxy-like cloud known as a RELHIC, providing the strongest evidence yet for a cornerstone prediction of the Lambda CDM model: that many small dark matter ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

Astronomers studying galaxy evolution have long struggled to understand what causes star formation to shut down in massive galaxies. Although many theories have been proposed to explain this process, ...

Some galaxies meant to be spirals might've been smoothed-out into clumpy ellipticals. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. If you were ...
