The James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have captured amazing views of spiral galaxy NGC 2566. Credit: ...

The highly inclined barred spiral M108 in Ursa Major is sometimes called the Surfboard Galaxy. It's not to be missed.

Astronomers in Chile captured a stunning image of the Sculptor Galaxy, which is 11 million light-years away and spans a range of 65,000 light-years.

Explore the UGC 10214, the Tadpole Galaxy, a faint, peculiar spiral galaxy in Draco with a dramatic tidal tail and active star formation — an elusive but rewarding target for deep-sky observers ...

In the vast darkness of the early universe, a spiral of light named Zhúlóng offers a new glimpse into cosmic history. This galaxy, shaped like our Milky Way, formed just a billion years after ...

The study employed a technique the researchers call 'pattern matching', using Cepheid variable stars to effectively anchor the distances of the gas on the outer edges of the galaxy's spiral arms for ...

We report that the spiral arms alternate in a pattern of metal rich and metal poor relative to the median metallicity of the order of less than or similar to 0.1 dex, appearing generally in this ...

Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves ...

Chinese astronomers have recently transformed our understanding of the spiral structure of the Milky Way. They determined that it is more like a common multiple-arm galaxy, rather than a special ...

However, not all spiral galaxies are created equal, as two recent images from the Hubble Space Telescope show. The image above shows galaxy NGC 3596, a neat and orderly spiral galaxy.

Nicknamed the “Big Wheel,” a giant, spiral-shaped disk galaxy was spotted in an unusually crowded part of the early universe just two billion years after the big bang ...

The Hubble Space Telescope captured a new image of NGC 5530, which is classified as a flocculent spiral galaxy due to its patchy and indistinct arms, according to a statement from the European ...
