We know little about how young galaxies and their black holes grew up.

Astronomers spot a rare stellar bridge in Abell 3667, revealing an aggressive galaxy merger and new clues about dark matter.

Astronomers using the James Webb telescope have zoomed in on a 'Little Red Dot' that existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang, and found that it may contain the earliest known black hole in the universe.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to understanding how early galaxies grow.

New simulations have narrowed down where the newly discovered interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS likely came from, revealing it could be more than 3 billion years older than the solar system.

Much of the universe's regular "baryonic" matter is spread through intergalactic space and in diffuse halos around galaxies, researchers proposed after studying the behavior of fast radio bursts emitted from deep space.

The James Webb Space Telescope has broken its own record once again, spotting the most distant, early galaxy in the known universe. The new contender is MoM-z14, a galaxy visible just 280 million years after the Big Bang.

A mysterious cluster of 60 stars may be just another Milky Way star cluster, or it may be one of the smallest galaxies ever seen.

A new study links the Egyptian goddess Nut with the Milky Way galaxy.

Astronomers have stumbled upon yet another ghostly galaxy that appears to be devoid of dark matter, the elusive stuff that makes up most of the material universe.
