The nonrandom clustering of galaxies and clusters of galaxies has attracted increasing attention in the past 40 years. The mathematical tests and criteria used to distinguish between an observed ...

A University of Queensland researcher has developed a new mathematical model to explain the evolution of the universe which, for the first time, includes collapsing regions of matter and expanding ...

A new study of diffuse dwarf galaxies is challenging the prevailing galaxy formation model within the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) framework, leading to a proposed new model of dark matter. Under ...

Using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a cluster of galaxies in the initial stages of development. It is the most distant such grouping ever observed in the early universe. In ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified two extremely distant galaxies within Pandora's Cluster (Abell 2744), ranking second and fourth in distance among known galaxies. These galaxies, ...

Astronomers have caught multiple massive galaxies in the act of merging about 4 billion years ago. This discovery, made possible by combining the power of the best ground- and space-based telescopes, ...

A vast river of neutral hydrogen bridges two galaxies that are beginning to enter the monstrous Virgo Cluster, and this structure is helping astronomers better understand our Milky Way's relationship ...
