The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) reveals a stunning view of star-forming region Sagittarius C ...
Observations show Andromeda has a more active star formation history than the Milky Way, potentially due to a past galactic collision. NASA recently released images of the Andromeda galaxy ...
About 100 years after astronomer Edwin Hubble's discovered the "magnificent" spiral nebula, the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA scientists have produced the most comprehensive survey of the Andromeda ...
The Andromeda galaxy is our closest galactic neighbour, barring dwarf galaxies that are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way. When conditions are right, we can see it with the naked eye, though it ...
NGC 2775, also known as Caldwell 48, is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Cancer. It is 67 million light-years away from the Milky Way. NGC 3521 is located almost 40 million light-years away in the ...
Previously, scientists thought the entire universe existed within the Milky Way, per the NASA statement. But when Andromeda proved to be its very own galaxy, astronomers realized the universe was ...
One of the largest galaxies ever found, the behemoth is about 1.44 billion light-years away and reckoned to be 32 times the size of our Milky Way galaxy. The mightly object is classed as a giant ...
The Milky Way keeps its planets close to its chest. Stars in a thin, flat disk bisecting the galaxy have more planets on average than stars in a thicker, enveloping disk — and astronomers now ...
Despite its closeness to the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy appears six times the diameter of the full moon in the sky (as viewed from Earth), providing enough "celestial real estate" for Hubble's ...
Surprising discovery: NASA reveals a planet is disintegrating ... Andromeda will have traveled the distance that separates it from the Milky Way and, just at their meeting point, they will cross ...
It's located in the Circinus constellation, about 8,200 light-years away. Located about 6,000 light-years from Earth, the Heart and Soul nebulae form a vast star-forming complex that makes up part of ...
