One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar—a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic ...

And that is exactly what NASA's super space telescope James Webb has done once again, after snapping a mesmerising image of the moment two spiral galaxies collided. We may be seeing the merger for ...

The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into ...

A supermassive black hole that doesn't appear to be where we would expect seems to be travelling at more than a thousand ...

If you see a pair of bright eyes in the inky depths of space, you’re seeing what a team of astronomers spied last year—a rare formation created by the grazing collision of two spiral galaxies.

The two galaxies are racing toward each other at 250,000 mph and will collide less than 5 billion years from now. Luckily, astronomers predict that our solar system will remain intact as these two ...

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 ...

"If two galaxies actually collide with each other the stars basically pass right between each other, and the chance of two stars directly hitting each other is really, really small," said van der ...

once more verifying the theory that it had been ejected when two galaxies collided.

These two galaxies are so tight, the stellar formation encompassing them both actually has a name of its own. Say hello to Arp 91, a pair of spiral galaxies that are situated so close together (in ...
