When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

JWST observations of galaxy cluster MACS J1149 show gravitational lensing used by CANUCS to study distant low-mass galaxies across a wide range of cosmic time.

Scientists have detected a surprisingly hot galaxy cluster dating back to the universe’s infancy. The cluster formed far earlier and burned far hotter than current models predict. Researchers believe ...

When astronomers imaged the distant galactic cluster Abell 2255 in unprecedented detail, they found hints of powerful physical phenomena. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A galaxy cluster is a set of the most extensive cosmic gravitational systems, consisting of three hundred to a thousand galaxies, an enormous volume of highly heated gas, and a large quantity of dark ...

The galaxies highlighted in this James Webb Space Telescope image have been confirmed to be at a distance that astronomers refer to as redshift 7.9, which correlates to 650 million years after the Big ...

One of the hallmarks of the midwinter Colorado sky is the presence of a comparatively large number of stellar groupings, which are called “open” or galactic star clusters. Unlike the globular clusters ...

A massive cluster of galaxies in deep space imaged spotted by an orbiting observatory can only be explained by the exotic phenomenon known as dark energy, say astronomers. Their findings will appear ...

The history of how stars and galaxies came to be and evolved into the present day remains among the most challenging astrophysical questions to solve yet, but new research brings us closer to ...
