SPACE"Downtown" space is just about 25,800 light-years away, a short hop in cosmic distances. A light year is the number of years that light travels, in this case to reach the Earth.
Scientists have traced the locations of multiple mysterious fast radio bursts back to their origins – particularly the spiral galaxy arms – with help from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Vast halo of dark matter around Tucana II is said to be five times larger than previously estimated. The dwarf galaxy is 163,000 light years from Earth.
According to scientists, a lost galaxy believed to be gone is not really lost. Will Roman Space Telescope capture such photos better than NASA's Hubble Space Telescope?
NASA satellites detected a giant flare was detected in April as it swept past Mars. Experts say it came from a powerful neutron star 11.4 million light-years away.
Astronomers discover a 114-day recurring outburst of light in the "Old Faithful" galaxy. Like clockwork, a galaxy roughly 570 million lightyears away bursts light every 114 days, and scientists finally understand why.
Astronomers have observed a galaxy merger in a remote galaxy for the first time. (Photo : NASA via Getty Images)392767 01: (UNDATED PHOTO) A Hubble telescope edge-on view of the ESO 510-G13 galaxy is seen in this undated NASA photograph.
PSO J0309+27 spewed a fast-moving jet of radiation and plasma into the cosmos. Almost 13 billion years later, the jet is visible to humans through a blazar.
A picture of a cinnamon bun-shaped galaxy snapped by the Hubble telescope was posted by NASA. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a "tantalizing" thin bright rays and dark shadows beaming from the Northern Hemisphere constellation of Andromeda.
