A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's ...

the Andromeda Galaxy will collide with the Milky Way, resulting in a spectacular cosmic collision! Don’t worry, though – the distances between stars are vast, so we won’t feel a thing.

Hubble revealed a universe of galaxies that existed beyond ours — but he couldn't have done it without a little help.

Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.

High radiation during a time of frenzied star formation in the Milky Way left one stellar population with few chances to form planets, a study reports.

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving ...

Beneath that is a selection of intriguing sights within the mosaic, labeled A through E: A: Star clusters in Andromeda, foreground stars in our Milky Way galaxy, and two background galaxies far ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected and “weighed” a galaxy – seen 600 million years after the Big Bang – that is similar to what our Milky Way galaxy might have looked like at the same ...

Astronomers have long tried to track down how elements like carbon, which is essential for life, become widely distributed across the universe. Now, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has examined one ...

But around the cosmic time that we are seeing the Firefly Sparkle, Milky Way-like galaxy progenitors were about 10,000 times less massive than today’s Milky Way. Hopefully with the collaboration ...
