NGC 7714 is a spiral galaxy about 100 million light-years away, which is close in space terms. It has a strange shape and a golden haze coming from its center. This is because it's merging with a ...

Our Milky Way could have many more satellite galaxies than we've detected so far. They're just too faint to be seen.

Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve.

“The gas spans the entire width of the system and was likely shocked and compressed at the collision site,” they and their ...
