A new photo from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows two star clusters that appear to be in the early stages of merging. The colliding clusters are 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic ...

This deep space image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope contains CDG-2, a dark matter-dominated galaxy. Credit: NASA / ESA / David Li et al. / J. DePasquale Astronomers have spotted something ...

The image features a galaxy cluster called CL0016+1609. Hubble captured an image of galaxy cluster CL0016+1609 to study its properties The cluster consists of two merging galaxy clusters seen along ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope together with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have looked deeply at thousands of young star clusters in four nearby galaxies, studying ...

Far beyond the Milky Way, vast collections of galaxies continue to drift, gather and occasionally collide. One such region has drawn astronomers’ attention for decades.

A galaxy so faint it escaped detection for as long as anyone has been scanning the sky has finally been found. Called CDG-2, this newly identified “ghostly” galaxy may be one of the most dark ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of an active spiral galaxy on a journey that will last hundreds of millions of years. The galaxy, known as Messier 88 (M88), is located about 63 million ...
