The Andromeda Galaxy's family of dwarfs are an enigma. First it was the unusual flat plane around which more than half of them orbit, and now this lopsidedness. It just goes to show that sometimes it ...

The spiral galaxy 2MASX J23453268−0449256 is located nearly 1 billion light-years away from Earth, and measures about three ...

Solar systems will orbit around the galaxy's core — just like our system completes an orbit ... That's because both the Milky Way and Andromeda inhabit a "local group" of galaxies, and two ...

An international team led by the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has discovered the most distant spiral galaxy candidate known ...

We've known for over 30 years that there are other stellar systems in our galaxy, but we don't have any idea how many there are.

An curved arrow pointing right. In 3.75 billion years, Earth's Milky Way Galaxy will collide with the Andromeda Galaxy. Over the next several billion years, the two galaxies will rip each other ...

"A supercomputer simulation shows many galaxies merging over time. The parts of galaxies we can see are glowing stars forming ...

The Milky Way is one of billions of galaxies in the universe and home to our own solar system. It appears as a hazy band in the sky when viewed from Earth.

Graduate students from the Graduate University for Advanced Studies (SOKENDAI) participated in an observational training ...

The findings reveal unusual chemical signatures and offer new insights into the behavior of novas beyond the Milky Way.

By that point, the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies - two, separate spiral galaxies - will be no more. Our solar system will have a new home in an entirely different class of galaxy, called an ...
