Astronomers have discovered a vast, dense cluster of massive galaxies just 1 billion years after the Big Bang, each forming ...

Researchers from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Université Paris-Saclay have reopened one of cosmology’s oldest ...

An inexplicably hot, fast-growing cluster of galaxies in the early universe has scientists questioning theories of galactic evolution.

Astronomers may have uncovered the origins of the mysterious “little red dots,” some of the strangest galaxies seen in the early universe. These tiny but brilliant objects, discovered by the James ...

When astronomers look deep into the early universe, they don’t expect to see fully developed cosmic objects but small galaxies, young stars, and black holes still struggling to grow. However, recent ...

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...

The "Cosmic Grapes" galaxy formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang, revealing a never-before-seen structure.

"The knowledge of these will ultimately help us understand the formation of the first stars and planets and how our own Milky ...

A paper published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, details the discovery of a grand-design spiral galaxy that formed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. Grand design galaxies are similar to the ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from Cambridge studied over 250 galaxies and found most were turbulent, still forming ...

“If even a few of these objects turn out to be what we think they are, our discovery could challenge current ideas about how galaxies formed in the early universe,” said Haojing Yan, a University of ...

Using the Subaru Telescope's wide-field camera, astronomers have discovered a previously unknown structure surrounding a tiny ...
