The spiral galaxy is called UGC 11860 and it is located about 184 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. It has two main spiral arms that are laced with bright blue star clusters. The galaxy also has a central bulge of older stars. Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3)...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made another groundbreaking discovery, this time by seeing the first starlight from ancient quasars. Quasars are extremely bright objects that are powered by supermassive black holes at their centers. They are among the most distant objects in the universe, and their light has...
On June 29, 2023, an international team of astronomers announced that they had detected the gravitational wave background of the universe for the first time. This is a major breakthrough in astronomy, as it provides new insights into the early history of the universe. The gravitational wave background is a...
