Astronomers have made an exciting discovery: a massive, shining object racing through our solar system. The object, which was ...

Based on the comet's brightness and current distance — it's located just inside Jupiter's orbit — scientists estimate its ...

In 2017, ‘Oumuamua stunned scientists as the interstellar object entered and then exited the solar system, something ...

At the aphelion, the distance from the Earth’s center to the Sun’s center is going to be 152,087,738 kilometers (94,502,939 ...

In a groundbreaking study recently published on the arXiv preprint server, researchers have proposed two innovative ...

A view of the spiral galaxy NGC 3982, as seen by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical ...

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

Galaxy Arp 184, however, we are seeing from an angle, so it looks different. More than that, though, Arp 184 is skewed so that it isn’t perfectly spiral shaped.

In 1994, Hubble's Wide Field Planetary Camera-2 captured an image of an object at the center of M87, a giant elliptical galaxy 50 million light-years away.

Credit: Hubble Space Telescope Scientists have spotted a defiant galaxy. Located nearly 1 billion light-years from Earth, the galaxy 2MASX J23453268−0449256 is a spiral, like our home the Milky Way.

The ancient elliptical galaxy where astronomers discovered the radio waves is about 2 billion light-years from Earth and is about 11.3 billion years old, according to the paper. Thousands of radio ...

But, while most FRBs originate well within their galaxies, the team traced FRB 20240209A to the outskirts of its home — 130,000 lightyears from the galaxy’s center where few other stars exist.
