Scientists have named two systems of colliding supermassive black holes after Lord of the Rings locations, Gondor and Rohan.

Scientists have confirmed that colossal collisions between galaxies trigger titanic eruptions in the centers of those galaxies, and the discovery is thanks to an artificial intelligence tool that was ...

When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

What: New analyses using early observations from the European Space Agency’s Euclid mission examine how galaxy mergers ...

Travel 60 million light-years away into the constellation Virgo to catch a glimpse of interacting galaxies NGC 4568 and NGC ...

Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and other telescopes have shown what appears to be a supermassive black hole forming right between two merging galaxies. There have been multiple ...

Two massive galaxy clusters are slamming into each other, and for once astronomers are not reconstructing the crash from the debris long after the fact. They have caught the system in the act, with ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...
