A massive galaxy in the early universe seems to be growing itself toward ruin. While it churns out new stars at a furious ...

Astronomers have discovered a "galaxy-killing wind" that may explain why there are far more massive "dead" galaxies than ...

Powerful outflows of gas may explain why so many massive galaxies shut down star formation soon after the Big Bang.

If a galaxy runs out of gas, it will stop forming stars and die. Present-day galaxies have had more than 10 billion years to ...

It could explain why the early universe is littered with dead realms. The post Scientists Discover Fearsome Wind That ...

The paradox has been on astrophysicists’ desks for years: observations of the early universe show a number of massive and ...

Scientists have long thought the Milky Way galaxy would someday collide with its closest neighbor, Andromeda. However, new research suggests the future of our cosmic home is more uncertain than ...

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...

Astronomers have uncovered a galaxy-killing wind in the early universe that may solve a longstanding cosmic mystery: why ...

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighboring galaxies, a University of Queensland survey has found. The paper is published in the Monthly ...

Using early data from the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope, astronomers have analyzed over one million galaxies to test a long-standing idea in astrophysics: that galaxy mergers help ...

Whether or not galaxies merge depends on how strong the gravitational attraction is between the galaxies and whether the universe’s expansion is more powerful than gravity. Gravity affects everything ...
