Researchers have identified the birth sites of massive elliptical galaxies, providing new insights into their formation which ...

One of the strangest galaxies in the neighborhood of the Milky Way has just presented astronomers with a fascinating mystery.

These findings will help scientists understand how giant galaxies interact, collide, and merge to produce even bigger galaxies where gravity draws them together across chasms of space-time.

"Our findings take us closer to solving a long-standing mystery in astronomy that will redefine our understanding of how ...

TheAtlPhoto is sharing a new image from a space telescope every day until December 25. On the sixth day, the formation of a ...

My collaborators and I have just tackled one of astrophysics’ enduring mysteries: how massive elliptical galaxies can form.

See how elliptical galaxies in the distant universe were born, as new research gives astronomers a closer look at galactic ...

How these galaxies, which look similar to bulging footballs compared with the flat disc of the Milky Way, emerged, has been ...
