Just like humans, galaxies, such as the Milky Way, also tend to start chaotically, straightening themselves out into more recognizable shapes like spiral galaxies as they grow up and mature.
A recent study investigated the true capability of a cosmic ray to shape the dynamics of a galaxy. Cosmic rays are known to exist outside space and present themselves in subnuclear particle formation.
Durham University researchers released the most comprehensive pictures of galaxies beyond our own, revealing unparalleled details about their inner workings.
A huge structure was recently discovered in the Milky Way but such a discovery remains unidentifiable. Scientists have remained clueless about what they found.
Researchers closely studied a star 2,000 light-years away. It is not only moving fast but is also rotating as it hurtles out of the Milky Way. Researchers believe that it is likely a remnant of a star that went supernova.
A star, formally labeled as LP 40-365 has recently been spotted moving extraordinarily fast. An astronomy assistant professor described this as moving so fast that it nearly leaves the Milky Way.
An new image of a supermassive black hole and its vast extragalactic radio jet has been captured for the first time, raising new questions about our nearest radio galaxy.
Scientists have accidentally discovered a huge and previously undetected galactic structure that could change the way we think about how stars are made.
The most accurate distance measurement yet of ultra-diffuse galaxy NGC1052-DF2 confirms beyond any shadow of a doubt that it is lacking in dark matter.
Because it dwells in the galactic plane, where it may easily be covered by the Milky Way's 400 billion stars, the stellar stream has stayed hidden from astronomers for a long time.
Space agencies NASA and ESA released a new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of the spiral galaxy NGC 691, the eponymous galaxy for the galaxy group where it belongs.
