How many dwarf planets are there in our solar system? The recent discovery of 2017 OF201 makes the tally anywhere between ...

Astronomers have captured the first-ever visual evidence of awhite dwarf star exploding twice in a remarkable supernova event ...

Galaxies are thought to form and grow by collisions and mergers, and elliptical galaxies may be the ultimate result of this ...

These are called “dwarf elliptical galaxies” and are satellites of larger galaxies. The Andromeda galaxy, for example, has many dwarf ellipticals orbiting it.

A whole universe of hidden galaxies lies just beyond what the eye can see. Thanks to a new generation of space telescopes, ...

Where a dwarf galaxy lives in the universe affects its shape and how it behaves. Those found in crowded areas—like clusters of galaxies —tend to be early-type galaxies that no longer form stars.

Dwarf galaxies come in an array of different shapes. On one hand you have spheroid dwarf galaxies, spiral dwarf galaxies and elliptical dwarf galaxies, and on the other you have irregular dwarf ...

Using data from the Euclid Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a stunning 2,674 dwarf galaxies, the study of which could help better understand cosmic evolution.

However, a new FRB (dubbed FRB 20240209A), picked up by Northwestern University researchers, is pinpointed to the outskirts of 11.3-billion-year-old galaxy without young, active stars.

But, while most FRBs originate well within their galaxies, the team traced FRB 20240209A to the outskirts of its home — 130,000 lightyears from the galaxy’s center where few other stars exist.

This other recent Hubble image also shows a dwarf galaxy, one called NGC 5238. This one is located 14.5 million light-years away, but has a different and more complex type of structure.
