An uncharted region of space known as the " zone of avoidance " lurks behind the Milky Way's center – and astronomers just found an enormous, multi-galaxy structure there. A composite image showing the 58 galaxies clustered togethe…
The $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first batch of coloured scientific photos, which NASA has made public. Incredible photos collected by the much awaited James Webb Space Telescope have been made public by NASA (JWST). T…
Unless you specifically seek for it, the Andromeda galaxy, the nearest spiral galaxy to the Milky Way, is not visible in our night sky. Milky Way and Andromeda merger has begun However, in the absence of optical help, you can only faintly make it…
We are beginning to realize how little we know about the universe as we continue to explore it. For example, the number of galaxies in the universe is still unknown, even though the consensus is that there are roughly 200,000 billion galaxies in the k…
So, you think you know the Milky Way? Well you don't. This new Milky Way map from NASA displays the exo-planets we've discovered so far, counting the newly confirmed exoplanet 13,000 light years away from Earth, catchily-named OGLE-201…
Astronomers watching the sky recently got a big surprise. They discovered a big galaxy in an undiscovered region of our galaxy. It appeared seemingly out of nowhere. So, how did the galaxy, called Crater 2, achieve this feat, much like a deer lea…
In under 300 hours, the world-renowned CSIRO telescope in Australia surveyed the whole southern sky in amazing detail and record time, discovering 3 million previously unseen galaxies. The feat, announced on December 1 by Australia's national sc…
A team of researchers unintentionally discovered two hidden galaxies at the frontier of space and time. A group of scientists discovered and has now identified two hidden galaxies at the frontier of space and time. Yoshinobu Fudamoto, an astronom…

It's a frequent cliche to say that we can't see the forest for the trees, but we might just as easily say that we can't see the Milky Way for the stars. We now have a more exact understanding of where things are on the other side of th…

Astronomers in charge of the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a black hole in the heart of a dwarf galaxy that, rather than absorbing stars, generates them. This revelation challenges the commonly held belief that black holes are matter destroye…
The James Webb Space Telescope just published photographs of the magnificently spiral M74 Phantom Galaxy, demonstrating why it is humanity's best space telescope to date. The European Space Agency made the images public. Because it is named a…
Astronomers have discovered a gargantuan galaxy. Alcyoneus is a massive radio galaxy 3 billion light-years away that extend 5 megaparsecs into space. This structure is 16.3 million light-years long and is the biggest known structure of galactic origi…
There are tens, hundreds, or even 1000 times more bright galaxies at the edge of space-time (soon after the big bang) than astronomers had predicted, according to the James Webb Space Telescope, which has only been observing the sky for a few weeks. …
Astronomers monitoring the sky recently received a major surprise. They discovered a massive galaxy around our own in an area previously unexplored. It popped up, apparently, out of nowhere. So how could the galaxy, dubbed as Crater 2, accomplish this…
A team of astronomers has unexpectedly discovered two galaxies that were previously hidden from view at the edge of space and time. Yoshinobu Fudamoto, an astronomer from Waseda University's Research Institute for Science and Engineering and the N…
A group of astronomers has discovered a 'barrier' in the heart of the Milky Way galaxy. It is currently unclear how is works or why it even exists. An artist's impression of the Milky Way's center, using data from the Fermi Gamma-Ray S…
A team of scientists obtained a magnificent photograph of a faraway galaxy, reminding us all how little we are in the grand scheme of things. Artist’s impression of the monster galaxy COSMOS-AzTEC-1. This galaxy is located 12.4 billion light-years awa…
