Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity ...

The discovery made by a large research team challenges the existing models of the universe.

A global team led by UMass Amherst identified dusty, star-forming galaxies nearly 13 billion years old, bridging gaps between early ultrabright and quiescent galaxies in the universe.

The study of galaxies and their star formation processes remains a cornerstone of modern astrophysics. Galaxies are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, each hosting a complex interplay of ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...
