At just 7.8 million light-years away, the newly discovered dwarf galaxy dw1322m2053 is remarkable for its isolation and lack ...

Large galaxies, like the Milky Way, attract smaller galaxies. Our solar system's cosmic neighborhood spans 100,000 ...

This illustration shows a red, early-universe dwarf galaxy that hosts a rapidly feeding black hole at its center. Using data ...

This Hubble Space Telescope image shows LEDA 42160, a galaxy about 52 million light-years from Earth. The dwarf galaxy is one ...

Black holes are fascinating objects. They're unimaginably dense: If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has shown that dark matter is concentrated within the core of a nearby dwarf galaxy, a finding that rushes to the rescue of the Standard Model of cosmology. This model ...

Using data from NASA’s JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of U.S. National Science Foundation NOIRLab astronomers ...

Simulations of the evolution and distribution of elements inside galaxies suggest that the most likely birthplace of these stars would have been a small dwarf galaxy, weighing no more than roughly ...

Astronomers have found what could be described as the universe's hungriest black hole – one that's breaking fundamental ...

The FRB itself is offset 130,000 light-years from the center of the galaxy, which is the largest offset of any known FRB.

But the Webb may have just identified a solution to the dilemma as well. It has spotted a black hole that appears to have ...

The theory goes that black holes accrete material, often from nearby stars. However the theory also suggests there is a limit to how big a black hole can grow due to accretion and certainly shouldn’t ...
