Hubble has turned its sharp gaze on a compact, intensely blue dwarf galaxy about 13 million light years away, revealing a ...

This infrared view offers the clearest look yet at how dwarf galaxies merge, evolve, trade gas and ignite waves of new stars.

As machine learning approaches get more and more sophisticated, they are increasingly used in astronomy for difficult tasks like spotting dim and distant galaxy clusters. It can be tremendously ...

Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to study the unusual star-forming timeline of dwarf galaxy Leo P. Most small galaxies that stopped making new stars in the early universe never resumed ...

Astrophysicists for the first time have calculated the original mass and size of a dwarf galaxy that was shredded in a collision with the Milky Way billions of years ago. Reconstructing the original ...

Smaller black holes tend to attract less material, making them naturally dimmer. Chandra would miss many of these faint ...

Contained within a small galaxy located 5.3 million light-years away are big clues about how stars can form. In fact, scientists didn't really expect that stars would even be able to still form at all ...

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — An astronomer studying small irregular galaxies has discovered a remarkable feature in one of them that may provide key clues to understanding how galaxies form and the ...

A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a small dwarf galaxy called IC 3430 that’s located 45 million light-years away. This galaxy is classified as both a dwarf galaxy, because of its small ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

An intermediate-mass black hole lurking undetected in a dwarf galaxy revealed itself to astronomers when it gobbled up an unlucky star that strayed too close. The shredding of the star, known as a ...
