Researchers Launch First Low-Frequency Search for Alien Technology in Distant Galaxies
First extragalactic search for low-frequency technosignatures covers 2,800 galaxies in a single search. Credit: SETI Institute The SETI Institute, the ...
Discovery of unexpected ultramassive galaxies may not rewrite cosmology, but still leaves questions
By observing different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope are able ...
Bright galaxies put dark matter to the test
A composite of Stephan's Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies, constructed from nearly 1,000 separate image files from the ...
The Webb data suggest that many ancient galaxies were long and thin, not disk-shaped or spherical.
Images of what researchers believe to be elongated, ellipsoid (i.e. breadstick-shaped) galaxies captured with the James Webb Space Telescope. The ...
Black holes of unexpected mass dominate small galaxies in the distant universe
Credit: CfA/Melissa Weiss Astronomers have discovered that the supermassive black holes at the centers of early galaxies are much more ...
