MeerKAT radio telescope discovers 49 hidden galaxies in less than three hours, revealing how much of the nearby universe ...

New research presented at an astronomy meeting shows that active black holes are more common in dwarf galaxies than earlier studies suggested, based on a large survey of nearby galaxies.

At approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, the Milky Way’s vastness and the broader, ever-changing dynamics of the cosmos defy any attempt to fully understand our home galaxy and its history.

Image of the irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A, located at a distance of about 4 million light years from us, towards the edge of the Local Group, captured by the VST (VLT Survey Telescope), an Italian ...

A nearby galaxy is launching an enormous stream of super-heated gas, driven by a precessing jet from its central black hole., ...

New research based on data from the European Space Agency’s Gaia spacecraft has revealed that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is actively disrupting its smaller galactic neighbor, the Small ...

(CN) — A nearby galaxy may be falling apart, and its larger neighbor could be the reason why. Astronomers studying the Small Magellanic Cloud — a dwarf galaxy about 200,000 light-years from Earth — ...

Astronomers have completed the most comprehensive census of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to date, providing the clearest picture yet of the probability that galaxies of different sizes host active ...

Astronomers have made a stunning discovery that challenges current understanding of dwarf galaxies: the tiny, nearby Segue 1 galaxy is bound not by a dark matter halo, but by an unusually large black ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The Sculptor galaxy is similar in many respects to our Milky Way. It is about the same size and mass, with a similar spiral structure. But while it is impossible to get a full ...

New paper led by UC Santa Cruz undergraduate suggests that long-dormant galaxies deemed to be dead may actually be stunted by the dynamics of supermassive black holes at their center ...
