Astronomers have observed unusually shaped galaxies in a transitory phase of galactic evolution, often colliding or ...

A possible new "jellyfish" galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope could deepen our understanding of galaxy ...

Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to peer into the early universe and uncover the building blocks of galaxies during their formative years. The CRISTAL ...

During this era, small, irregular galaxies started to assemble, and early black holes likely formed from the collapse of massive stars. These events fundamentally changed the nature of the cosmos.

The galaxy’s irregular morphology, which suggests a possible recent merger or interaction, and the highly variable core confined to a compact region, provide further intrigue for researchers ...

Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical, irregular and peculiar.

This structure is not common among galaxies formed in the early universe, which usually appear clumpy and irregular in deep space images. The PANORAMIC Survey that uncovered Zhúlóng used JWST’s “pure ...

About two-thirds of spiral galaxies are barred spirals, in which the central disk is stretched out into a ribbon. The Milky Way belongs to this class, as well as our nearest galactic neighbor, the ...

Galaxy morphology classification is crucial for understanding galaxy formation and evolution. Traditional methods for classifying galaxy morphologies are labour-intensive and require expert knowledge.
