GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

Astronomers have tracked a powerful blast of radiation back to its source, finding a neutron star collision within colliding galaxies.

Astronomers have detected a neutron star collision in an unexpected place, deep within a tiny, faint galaxy. Located about ...

Billions of light years away in a remote part of the universe, two neutron stars – the ultradense remnants of dead stars – collided. The catastropic cosmic event sent light and particles, including a ...

Astronomers detect a laser-like signal coming from colliding galaxies 8 billion light-years away. A cosmic mystery.

A recently detected flash of energy appears to have emanated from the wreckage of colliding galaxies, according to an international team of astronomers led by Penn State scientists. The burst, known ...

A fleet of NASA missions has likely uncovered a collision between two ultradense stars in a tiny galaxy buried in a huge stream of gas. Astronomers have never seen this type of explosive event in an ...

Understanding how galaxies grow has long stood as one of astronomy’s core challenges. Over time, scientists have gathered evidence that galaxy mergers matter. When two galaxies move close, gravity can ...

Scientists believe this long stream of gas may have formed when several galaxies collided millions of years ago.

Looking ahead: Future Euclid observations will enable scientists to watch how galaxy collisions spark bursts of star formation, fuel shrouded black holes, and unleash energetic feedback. According to ...

The pseudo-color images of JWST’s Quintet at redshift 6.71. a) The pseudocolor image created from NIRCam F115W (blue), F150W (green), and F200W (red) images. The five emission line galaxies in JWST’s ...

Astronomer and Queen guitarist Brian May teams up with astrophysicist Derek Ward-Thompson to bring the cosmos to 3D.
