IC 1101 holds the title of the largest galaxy known to humanity, and its colossal size is almost beyond comprehension. Located approximately 1.045 billion light-years away from Earth, this galaxy is ...

Our galaxy may reside in a billion-light-year-wide cosmic bubble that accelerates local expansion, potentially settling the ...

Because the mass of a galaxy is strongly related to its size and its environment — for instance, more massive galaxies are expected to be larger and live in denser environments — the team ...

“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain ...

Is it possible to understand the Universe without understanding the largest structures that reside in it? In principle, not ...

For years, scientists have worked to chart the universe’s massive structure, aiming to test key models of cosmology. These efforts also help uncover how galaxies form and change over time.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has performed deep and high spectral ...

Astrophysicists suggest our galaxy may lie inside a "cosmic void" - offering a new explanation for the universe’s conflicting ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

The researchers observed the Sculptor Galaxy for over 50 hours with the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on the VLT to create the detailed map. They then stitched together over 100 ...

The Earth might be near the center of a vast low-density void in space, which could explain one of the cosmos's greatest ...

Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.
