A massive galaxy in the early universe seems to be growing itself toward ruin. While it churns out new stars at a furious ...

Whether or not galaxies merge depends on how strong the gravitational attraction is between the galaxies and whether the universe’s expansion is more powerful than gravity. Gravity affects everything ...

Astronomers working with the James Webb Space Telescope report that a massive galaxy from the early universe shows no sign of ...

Astronomers have surveyed massive, dense star factories, unlike any found in the Milky Way, in a large number of galaxies across the local universe. The findings provide a rare glimpse into processes ...
