The Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104) is one of the most unique galaxies captured by NASA’s telescopes. It gets its name from its shape, which resembles a broad-rimmed Mexican hat when viewed from Earth.

NASA said CDG-2 “may be among the most heavily dark matter-dominated galaxies ever discovered” ...

It was based on observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, Gemini North Telescope, and NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope ...

A galaxy made almost entirely of dark matter, an elusive form of matter that doesn’t interact with light, was spotted by Hubble 250 million light-years from Earth.

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...

Astronomers have detected a neutron star collision in an unexpected place, deep within a tiny, faint galaxy. Located about 4.7 billion light-years away, this collision occurred within a vast gas ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

Astronomers have uncovered one of the most mysterious galaxies ever found — a dim, ghostly object called CDG-2 that is almost entirely made of dark matter. Located 300 million light-years away in the ...

A fleet of NASA space telescopes has traced a brief flash of gamma rays to a likely collision between two neutron stars, placing the violent event inside a tiny, gas-shrouded galaxy that had escaped ...
