Whoooooo's there? Just a "Cosmic Owl," the latest strange discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). A new study using JWST data has helped scientists spot an owl-faced object peering out ...

Two space telescopes really are better than one. This month NASA released a new image that combines observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Chandra X-ray Observatory of two ...

The pseudo-color images of JWST’s Quintet at redshift 6.71. a) The pseudocolor image created from NIRCam F115W (blue), F150W (green), and F200W (red) images. The five emission line galaxies in JWST’s ...

Nearly all stars are found inside or around galaxies, because that's where the conditions are right for stars to form. Within galaxies, stars form inside cold, dense molecular gas clouds like those ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope got a rare look at the aftermath of two cosmic collisions — and helped scientists solve a decades-old mystery. Many years ago, scientists saw a dense, bright spot near a ...

Scientists have long thought the Milky Way galaxy would someday collide with its closest neighbor, Andromeda. However, new research suggests the future of our cosmic home is more uncertain than ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have known that the universe is expanding. Most galaxies are carried outward with the flow ...

A strange line of dwarf galaxies may have been the result of a bullet-like cosmic collision. Michael Keim at Yale University and his colleagues used the Keck Observatory in Hawaii to study a unique ...

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...
