“You build these machines not to confirm the paradigm but to break it,” European Space Agency senior science and exploration adviser Mark McCaughrean said. This logic underlies the iconoclastic ...

Observations using ALMA and JWST show multiple mechanisms fueling starbursts in massive early galaxies, indicating diverse formation pathways during the early Universe.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Supermassive black holes — with masses ranging from millions to billions of times that of our sun — sit at the centers of most large galaxies. Astronomers have observed such black ...

WASHINGTON, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Observations by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory are providing ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...

Dark stars powered by dark matter may explain bright galaxies, massive black holes, and mysterious red objects in the early universe.
