China’s Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) has achieved a significant breakthrough in astronomy.

Learn how ancient clusters of galaxies — including the most distant proto-supercluster ever found — could provide clues on ...

A new study of nine nearby galaxies has found that actively growing supermassive black holes may influence star formation ...

New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite galaxies—up to 100 more than we currently know. These elusive "orphan" galaxies have ...

The ESA's Euclid space telescope has been in space for just over a year, investigating some of the deepest mysteries of the cosmos. By observing cosmic structures up to a distance of 10 billion ...

Star formation across the universe has fallen dramatically over the past 4.5 billion years, but astronomers have uncovered a ...

The evolution of the most massive galaxies unfolds through a complex interplay of internal processes and external interactions. In the early Universe, rapid in situ star formation and gas-rich mergers ...

Secular evolution in disk galaxies describes the gradual restructuring of a stellar system driven by internal processes rather than external mergers or rapid interactions. Over cosmic time, ...
