Studying several tens of distant galaxies, an international team of astronomers found that galaxies had the same amount of dark matter relative to stars 6 billion years ago as they have now. If ...

A study published this week in the journal Nature offers an explanation for the origin of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. The research may settle an outstanding puzzle in understanding galaxy formation.

The Universe is chock-full of oddities: stars that blink in and out without explanation, galaxies that eat one another, black holes gone rogue. It's no surprise that among the billions of galaxies out ...

A cosmic dance could be the future of the Milky Way as it tracks a course to collide with neighbouring galaxies, a new survey has found. A high-resolution colour image showing the central galaxies ...
