See photos from the Hubble Space Telescope that show the types of galaxies seen today were around 11 billion years ago. See how here.

An elliptical galaxy NGC 3640 situated just above its smaller galactic neighbor NGC 3641. ... Gaze at a cluster of glowing galaxies | Space photo of the day for May 2, 2025.

The elliptical galaxy at the center of this Einstein ring belongs to a galaxy cluster named SMACSJ0028.2-7537. It can be seen as the oval-shaped, featurless glow around the small bright core.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has produced a new image of the Bullet Cluster, which is a titanic collision between ...

That a look at the photo up top, which shows galaxy NGC 474 in the foreground. It’s an elliptical galaxy, which should mean that it’s bereft of gas and essentially dormant.

A full-size photo of the Penguin and Egg galaxies. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI) The smaller Egg, glowing brightly to the Penguin's left, is a densely packed elliptical galaxy that has not ...

Space photo of the week: Violent galaxies seen 'jousting' near the dawn of time; ... When they merge, they form chaotic elliptical galaxies, which astronomers predict is happening now to NGC 7727.

The prominent galaxy at the right of the frame, known as ESO 381-13 or PGC 42877, is a different beast altogether and both active star formation and dust can be seen within it.

Astronomers used the Hubble Space Telescope to image "peculiar" galaxy Arp 184 (NGC 1961) about 190 million light-years away. Remarkably, the spiral galaxy has only one visible arm.

Scientists now have a better view than ever of a certain penguin's tail feathers − only the bird in question is not what you may expect. NASA scientists running the James Webb Space Telescope have ...
