Galaxies in the early universe tend to be clumpy, but the new JWST discovery of a "grand design" spiral galaxy just 1.5 ...

Chiefly, the distances to the individual galaxies are unknown, preventing the team from constructing a 3D picture of the galaxies' positions in space. Breaking space news, the latest updates on ...

Hubble wanted to classify the galaxies according to their content, distance, shape, and brightness patterns, and in his observations he made another momentous discovery: By observing redshifts in ...

The new data confirms Hubble Space Telescope measurements of distances between nearby stars and galaxies, offering a crucial cross-check to address the mismatch in measurements of the universe’s ...

D ay 20 of the 2024 Space Telescope Advent Calendar: a galactic chain. This Hubble image features an interacting galaxy ...

With this scale and other tools, Hubble had found and measured 23 other galaxies out to a distance of about 20 million light years. The second key was the work of Vesto Slipher, who had ...

In 1929, Hubble discovered that all galaxies seemed to be receding from us with velocities that increased proportionately to their distance from us. In short, the universe was expanding.

Two of Milky Way's prominent satellite galaxies are the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. They orbit the ...

Distances between the Earth and other stars and galaxies are measured in light years (ly). Remember a light year is a unit of distance, not a unit of time. 1 light year is the distance travelled ...

The group was detected in a near isolated environment, at a distance of about 117.3 million light years away. The five dwarf galaxies received designation from D1 to D5, and the images show that ...
