They have mapped out many different cosmological phenomena—galaxies, galaxy clusters, and supernovae—giving them insight into different chapters of the universe’s overall structure and growth. The ...

The team behind this discovery speculates that this gas could eventually become the hot, diffuse gas called the intracluster medium (ICM) that has been seen filling mature galaxy clusters.

Views of a massive galaxy cluster Abell 2256 have been captured by NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, ESA’s XMM-Newton and three radio telescopes (LOFAR, the GMRT and the VLA). See a composite ...

This relatively close proximity allows Hubble’s advanced instruments to resolve intricate details within the galaxy, including distinct star clusters and delicate filaments of gas and dust. The image, ...

At the recent Osaka-Kansai Expo preview, Kawasaki Heavy Industries unveiled something that seemed pulled straight from science fiction — or perhaps a high-budget video game trailer. Perched on ...

Credit: NASA The cluster, full of more than 2,500 newborn stars that blaze blue in the Hubble image, is in a galaxy with far fewer heavy chemical substances than the Milky Way. It's mostly made of ...

"This discovery opens up new questions about how magnetic fields influence the birth of stars," he said in a statement, "both in our galaxy and beyond." ...

In contrast to the smooth, centralized distributions of young clusters seen in the galaxy's disk, the CMZ's young clusters display a fragmented and hierarchical structure. The researchers proposed ...
