Astronomer and Queen guitarist Brian May teams up with astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson to bring the cosmos to 3D.
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 ...

Whooo's there? James Webb telescope spots 'Cosmic Owl,' super-rare structure formed from colliding ring galaxies
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 ...
The European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope spent more than a decade mapping the Milky Way, collecting over 3 trillion ...
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 ...
Astronomers using data collected by the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a spectacular cosmic object they’re calling the “Infinity Galaxy.” The site of an epic head-on collision between 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 ...
Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
