You might think galaxies can’t ever find each other in our runaway cosmos, but it turns out gravity can sometimes overcome ...
In a corner of space 290 million light-years from Earth, we're getting to see something truly epic in action. There, four galaxies are closely interacting, the region filled with the detritus of past ...
Astronomers have discovered powerful magnetic fields steering gas, dust, and star formation in a dramatic galaxy merger.
The existence of massive, elliptical galaxies in the early universe has puzzled astronomers for two decades. An international ...
For years, astronomers have listened to the universe ring like a distant bell as colossal black holes collide, yet the exact ...
A violent clash of galaxies has been caught in unprecedented detail by one of the most powerful telescopes based in La Palma, Spain. The collision was triggered by a rogue galaxy, hurtling through ...
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — It turns out that looming collision between our Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies might not happen after all. Astronomers reported Monday that the probability of the two ...
Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
