When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has turned its infrared instruments on the spiral galaxy NGC 628, producing the first spectroscopic survey of young star clusters still embedded in the dust clouds where ...

An international team of astronomers led by the University of Vienna has deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team, led by ...

Astronomers have deciphered the formation history of young star clusters, some of which we can see with the naked eye at night. The team reports that most nearby young star clusters belong to only ...

A surprising pattern of spatial distribution was discovered in dwarf galaxies, whereby diffuse ones cluster more strongly than do compact ones — opposite to the trend seen in massive galaxies. This ...
