Astronomers have detected ordered magnetic fields in galaxies so young that conventional models struggle to explain how those fields formed so fast. Observations from the Atacama Large ...

How fast can a galaxy build ordered magnetic fields spanning thousands of light-years? Existing theories say several billion ...

T he first time I heard about galaxies without dark matter, I was sitting in my very first graduate class at the University of São Paulo. It was 2018, and the discovery had just ...

The discovery made by a large research team challenges the existing models of the universe.

Where are the smallest galaxies? A recent study suggests that there may not be as nearly as many of them in the early universe as there should be, which has big implications for the story of how our ...

It's a new window into the first star explosions.

Astronomers have created the largest and most detailed 3D map yet of a glowing signal from the early universe, revealing hidden galaxies and gas from 9-11 billion years ago. By analyzing faint ...

Astronomers detect a laser-like signal coming from colliding galaxies 8 billion light-years away. A cosmic mystery.

Astronomers have uncovered a hidden cosmic web of galaxies and gas by mapping hydrogen light from the early universe.

Mysterious blasts of radio waves from across the universe called fast radio bursts help astronomers catalog matter. ESO/M. Kornmesser, CC BY-SA Chris Impey, University of Arizona If you look across ...

Counting all the galaxies in the universe is hard. So hard, it seems, that it's possible to miss billions of them. A new analysis of Hubble Space Telescope data finds there are almost 10 times more ...
