But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive black holes expect to find binary systems – two supermassive black holes orbiting each ...

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare group of five 'dwarf' galaxies that are 'interacting with each other' about 117 million light years away from Earth Dwarf galaxies contain a few ...

Head coach of the Black Galaxies, Mas-Ud Didi Dramani, directed an important message to CAF following Ghana's defeat to ...

Researchers identified 378 satellite galaxies around their host systems, an accomplishment requiring meticulous analytical techniques to differentiate these objects from a dense background noise. The ...

In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive black holes expect to find binary systems—two supermassive black holes orbiting each other—at the hearts of some galaxies.

Dec. 18, 2024 — Galaxy clusters -- the big cities of the universe -- are home to many giant elliptical galaxies that have completed their growth and are not forming stars. However, it is still ...

Galaxies like the Milky Way are nearly as old as the universe. Sometimes, they collide with other galaxies, which can lead to the galaxies merging and forming a larger, more massive galaxy.

NGC 7320 is not a member of the group that contains the other four galaxies. (University of Hertfordshire) "Since its discovery in 1877, Stephan's Quintet has captivated astronomers, because it ...

The telescope’s massive digital camera was built to take a lot of photos of the sky, in quick succession, for a very long ...

Jamie Carter is an award-winning reporter who covers the night sky. How do galaxies form? For decades, that's been a mystery, but it may have finally been solved by a group of astronomers using ...

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare group of five "dwarf" galaxies that "interact with each other." This discovery challenges the prevailing model of the Universe. The dwarf galaxies found ...

Disks should have one axis much shorter than the other, while elliptical galaxies are truly egg-shaped. Most of the galaxies in the sample were like that. So it looks like the biggest galaxies in ...
