Galaxies brimming with stars and even evidence of supermassive black holes can be seen in stunning new photos unveiled by NASA captured by its James Webb Space Telescope.. The Monday release of 19 ...

Nearly a billion light-years away, a massive spiral galaxy is screaming into the void. The behemoth, nicknamed J2345-0449, is a giant radio galaxy, or "super spiral" galaxy roughly three times the ...

However, behind the galaxy's central bar lies a behemoth black hole that weighs somewhere between 9.6 and 38 million times as much as the sun, according to a statement from the European Space ...

Findings from a Rochester Institute of Technology study provide further evidence that the outskirts of spiral galaxies host massive black holes. These overlooked regions are new places to observe ...

However, it is unclear how these galaxies and their supermassive black holes co-evolve together. In order to answer that question, Treuthardt is relying on the relationship between the tightness ...

Galaxy IC 5249 (circled) is a spiral galaxy viewed edge on from Earth. That galaxy looks similar to a trail of light previously suggested to be stars that formed in the wake of a runaway black ...

Most spiral galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking at its center. Messier 106 is no exception, and boasts a particularly active central black hole that is actively gobbling up material.

About 300 million light-years from Earth, deep in the constellation Volans, two spiral galaxies spiraled into each other, leaving a brilliant ring of black holes and neutron stars in their wake.

The stars in an elliptical galaxy also orbit around the core in random directions and are generally older than those in spiral galaxies, according to NASA. In parts of the universe away from Plane ...

Scientists have spotted a defiant galaxy. Located nearly 1 billion light-years from Earth, the galaxy 2MASX J23453268−0449256 is a spiral, like our home the Milky Way.Yet it does something ...

A beautiful spiral galaxy 60 million light-years from Earth could help astronomers better understand our own Milky Way because of a trademark central bar-like structure.
