A tight clump of four star clusters sits in the Perseus galaxy cluster, and at first glance it looks like nothing special. No ...
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered what seems to be a galaxy that is the most heavily dominated by ...
It's 99 percent dark matter, a new study explains.
Using data from the Hubble Space Telescope, ESA’s Euclid space observatory, and Hawaii’s Subaru Telescope, the researchers discovered faint light emitting around the clusters. That light was clear ...
You know that feeling when you find something hiding right where you've been looking all along? Astronomers just had that moment on a cosmic scale. A galaxy so faint, so nearly invisible that no one ...
Called CDG-2, this newly identified “ghostly” galaxy may be one of the most dark matter-dominated galaxies ever discovered, with a staggering 99% of its total mass made up of dark matter — a ...
In the vast tapestry of the universe, most galaxies shine brightly across cosmic time and space. Yet a rare class of galaxies ...
Hubble catches a spiral galaxy mid-flight, shedding glowing gas as it battles the harsh environment of a nearby galaxy cluster.
Scientists discovered a distant jellyfish galaxy with star-forming "tails" stretching back 8.5 billion years.
Lurking in the southwestern corner of Aquarius the Water-bearer, globular cluster M72 doesn't stand out. At magnitude 9.4, it ranks among the dimmest globulars Charles Messier included in his ...
A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of today’s NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy cluster in question is Abell 209, located 2.8 billion light-years away in ...
