In recent groundbreaking research published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists from the University of Queensland have provided insights into the likely fate of our galaxy ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

Astronomers have identified Zhúlóng, a spiral galaxy existing 12.8 billion years ago, using the James Webb Space Telescope. This discovery challenges existing galaxy formation theories, as Zhúlóng ...

Scientists have built detailed Milky Way simulations under strange new physical laws to probe dark matter, revealing how different versions of the universe might behave and helping us get closer to ...

New supercomputer simulations suggest the Milky Way could be surrounded by dozens more faint, undetected satellite galaxies—up to 100 more than we currently know. These elusive "orphan" galaxies have ...

Astronomers previously thought our galaxy could crash into its closest neighbour in 5 billion years. But a new study predicts there's a nearly 50 per cent chance the galaxies won't collide, or it ...

Some mysterious object deep within our galaxy is emitting a bizarre pattern of radio waves unlike anything seen before. This has led the astronomers who detected it to wonder if they have discovered ...

`How the Universe Works' is an ultimate cosmos operator's manual, a revealing look at the inner workings of outer space. Computer imagery allows viewers to explore black holes, supernovae, neutron ...

Learn how many suns exist in the Milky Way and how to understand how many sun-like stars are out there could help us understand how many Earth-like planets there are, too. Katie Liu is a science ...
