"We discovered a galaxy which formed 15 billion times the mass of the sun in stars and then stopped forming stars before the ...

The potential finds could be contributing to some of the faintest light we can see in the universe, say researchers.

"One explanation is that the Universe was born rotating. That explanation agrees with theories such as black hole cosmology, ...

That's top speed in this universe—nothing can go faster—but it's relatively slow compared to the distances to be traveled. The nearest big galaxy to our Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy ...

This says that, at very large distances, the universe should appear to be evenly spread out in every direction. Cosmic ...

This marks the most distant detection of oxygen ever made ... The findings indicate that this galaxy was already mature in the early universe, challenging theories of galactic evolution.

Astronomers use patterns in the structure of matter left over from the universe's infancy as a sort of ruler; by measuring the ruler at different distances (and therefore different points back in ...

This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early universe. Discovered last year, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found ...

We know that some objects are closer to the Earth than others and that enormous distances separate us from other objects in the universe. As we gather information from the farthest reaches of the ...

DESI maps distant objects to study dark energy. The instrument is installed on the Nicholas U. Mayall 4-meter Telescope, shown here beneath star trails. (Credit: KPNO ...

Astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0. This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe.
