Student discovers a group of galaxies clustered together in the early universe

A group of galaxies in the very early universe were unintentionally found by an astronomy master's student while he was developing and testing astronomical software on existing data. The discovery not only shows the potential of the software but also sheds light on how...

A massive galaxy supercluster in the early universe

The universe's structure is frequently described as a cosmic web of filaments, nodes, and voids, with the nodes being clusters of galaxies, the largest gravitationally bound objects known. These nodes are thought to have been seeded by small-amplitude density fluctuations similar to those observed...

Hubble recently views a galactic oddity

The ultra-diffuse galaxy GAMA 526784 appears as a tenuous patch of light in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This wispy object resides in the constellation Hydra. It is roughly four billion light-years from Earth. Ultra-diffuse galaxies such as GAMA 526784 have...
