Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

Astronomers are closer than ever to working out how the biggest galaxies in the cosmos grew so quickly before dying.

"Why do they have the same rotation? They must have a connection with each other — that would be a very strong question that ...

The infrared-light image captured by the JWST's MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) reveals the galaxy in a totally different way ...

The WEAVE telescope has documented a high-speed collision of galaxies in Stephan's Quintet, revealing the powerful shockwaves ...

The collision in Stephan's Quintet was observed by WEAVE, a new instrument on one of the world's most powerful telescopes, in ...

A galaxy collision in Stephan’s Quintet has created a powerful shockwave, providing vital data on galactic evolution.

Astronomers have clocked a cosmic collision at 3.2 million km/h (2 million mph). A new instrument has spotted a galaxy ...

Two giant black holes causing strange flashes of light about one billion light years away from Earth have been detected by ...

A high-velocity galaxy, moving at over two million miles per hour (3.2 million km/h), has pierced through the group, creating ...

Supermassive black holes grow primarily in two ways. They can consume gas from their host galaxies in a process called accretion, and they can also merge with each other when two galaxies collide.

NASA captured this image of NGC 1316 galaxy which is about 60 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. Centaurus A is a giant elliptical galaxy that's known for being the fifth brightest ...
