The European Space Agency’s Gaia mission has almost completely depleted the cold gas propellant that kept it spinning and ...
Researchers from the University of Connecticut have created the first 3D maps of star-forming gas clouds in one of the most ...
Galaxies are the building blocks of the universe. Clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters of galaxies, called superclusters, make up the structures in the geography of the universe.
Galaxies are not islands in the cosmos. While globally the universe expands—driven by the mysterious "dark energy"—locally, ...
We have also been able to map the cosmic architecture left behind by merging galaxies more accurately than ever before. At the centre of most galaxies, scientists believe, lives a gargantuan ...
Askap conducted its first all-sky survey this year, covering 83% of the sky and covering three million galaxies all up. The map was stitched together using just 903 highly detailed images.
Rubin Observatory is about to get outfitted with the world's largest digital camera, which will allow it to map the entire southern sky over a decade, including more than 20 billion galaxies.
Here’s how it works. Astronomers have captured a breathtaking new image of thousands of galaxies, thanks to the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) mounted on the U.S. National Science Foundation's ...
My collaborators and I have just tackled one of astrophysics’ enduring mysteries: how massive elliptical galaxies can form. Now, for the first time, we have solid observational evidence that ...
Galaxies are not islands in the cosmos. While globally the universe expands—driven by the mysterious "dark energy"—locally, galaxies cluster through gravitational interactions, forming the ...
