Stories about: galaxy  

The black holes are nestled in the core of a nebula of cool dense gas, W. M. Keck Observatory data indicates

An open source client would be a great addition

The halo, which scientists say is basically the galaxy's atmosphere, extends halfway to our Milky Way

New study in the Astrophysical Journal announces the discovery of massive and extremely dense cloud of molecular gas

Investigation finds that, following a collision between two or more clusters, dead galaxies are revived

The runaway galaxies were flung out of their cluster, are now exiles aimlessly racing through the cosmos

The newly discovered celestial body is one of the most distant planets thus far documented by astronomers

Interestingly, this might explain why it ended up being orbited by 8 planets and why life emerged on Earth

With the help of this super high-tech camera, scientists hope to better understand the evolution of our universe

The Large Magellanic Cloud sits at a distance of merely 163,000 light-years from us, is a satellite of the Milky Way

Study sheds new light on how giant black holes alter the anatomy of the galaxies that serve as their hosts

The star that left behind the Sagittarius A East supernova remnant exploded roughly 10,000 years ago, astronomers say

The cluster of young stars hidden deep inside the cloud is about one billion times more luminous than our Sun

Of the newly documented dwarf galaxies, the closest is located at a distance of about 95,000 light-years from us

Astronomers use telescopes to study the shape of strong winds originating from supermassive black holes

The astronomers behind this project managed to map the distribution and motion of the molecules inside these clouds

This new and positively gorgeous map shows the distribution of gas, charged particles, and dust across our cosmic home
