Spanish astronomer discovers a galaxy within a galaxy

A Spanish astronomer has discovered an active galactic nucleus at the center of the Sombrero Galaxy.

 The Sombrero Galaxy, also known as Messier Object 104 or NGC 4594.

How did the Milky Way galaxy get its shape?

Our home galaxy, the Milky Way, did not always have its iconic spiral shape. Rather, it acquired its shape through a process called “galactic speciation.”

 This illustration shows a stage in the predicted merger between our Milky Way galaxy and the neighboring Andromeda galaxy, as it will unfold over the next several billion years. In this image, representing Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda (left) fills the field of view

Massive galaxy with no dark matter challenges our understanding of space - study

Dark matter, seemingly invisible, is thought to make up a vast majority of all matter in the universe. A massive galaxy having none would challenge everything we know about the universe.

Hubble telescope captures galaxy clusters merging

Gravitational lensing has the practical effect of a magnifying glass, microscope, or binoculars, and enables scientists to observe celestial bodies that would otherwise be too distant to discern.

Introducing Janus, the exotic 'two-faced' white dwarf star

Scienets have observed a white dwarf star, named for the two-faced ancient Roman god, that appears to have two sides with completely different compositions.

 An artist's concept shows the two-faced white dwarf star nicknamed Janus.

The universe is reportedly 26.7 billion years old - study

Astrophysicists have tried to calculate how long the universe has existed by measuring time elapsed since the Big Bang and evaluating the oldest stars at high redshifts of light from other galaxies.

 A galaxy is seen distorted into an Einstein ring due to gravitational lensing warping space and time.

NASA rover reveals new evidence about organic molecules on Mars

The Perseverance landed at the Jezero crater in 2021, an area in the planet's northern hemisphere that once was flooded with water and home to an ancient lake basin.

NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its black-and-white navigation cameras to capture panoramas of “Marker Band Valley” at two times of day on April 8. Color was added to a combination of both panoramas for an artistic interpretation of the scene.

How to kill a star? Astronomers see a 'demolition derby' scenario

Researchers said the gamma-ray burst they observed may have been caused by the collision of two compact stars in the densely packed and chaotic environment.

The luminous, hot star Wolf-Rayet 124 (WR 124) is prominent at the center of the James Webb Space Telescope’s composite image combining near-infrared and mid-infrared wavelengths of light from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera and Mid-Infrared Instrument.

Scientists find organic molecules in galaxy 12 billion light years away - study

The organic molecules found in this distant galaxy are not signs of life. Found via NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, their discovery raises questions about star formation.

 Astronomers using the Webb telescope discovered evidence of complex organic molecules similar to smoke or smog in the distant galaxy shown here.

Israeli astrophysicists may have solved the mystery of early massive galaxies

A new theoretical model made by Israeli astrophysicists reveals an excess of massive galaxies, in contrast to previously accepted theories.
