Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...

Scientists have discovered that active supermassive black holes don't just kill their home galaxies, but can also eradicate star formation for their neighbors.

A global team led by UMass Amherst identified dusty, star-forming galaxies nearly 13 billion years old, bridging gaps between ...

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.

See amazing views of the M74, NGC 7496, IC 5332, NGC 1365, and NGC 1433 galaxies captured using the James Webb Space ...

New analysis by Francesca Capel and Nadine Bourriche narrows possible sources of the Amaterasu cosmic ray, suggesting nearby galaxies like M82 rather than the Local Void.

At approximately 100,000 light years in diameter, the Milky Way’s vastness and the broader, ever-changing dynamics of the cosmos defy any attempt to fully understand our home galaxy and its history.

New research reveals that active supermassive black holes can halt star formation in neighboring galaxies, acting like cosmic serial killers across millions of light-years.

The latest data release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) includes observations revealing the internal structure and composition of nearly 5,000 nearby galaxies observed during the first three ...

A group of galaxies in our cosmic backyard has given astronomers clues about how stars form. A thorough survey using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has observed around 14 million stars in 69 ...

An international team of scientists led by the Institute of Cosmos Sciences at the University of Barcelona (ICCUB) and the ...
