Our galaxy spans 1.9 million light-years, a new study finds
New observations by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) provide a close look at a galaxy that may be in the process of shutting down its star formation.
A new study validates Einstein’s theory of general relativity in a distant galaxy for the first time.

What’s the matter with dark matter?
This map of the universe spans more than 500 million light-years and contains more than 100,000 galaxies.
We present with outstanding detail an extragalactic perspective of an extended stellar tidal stream wrapping around the edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 5907.
Astronomers have used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes to show that a recently-discovered galaxy is undergoing an extraordinary boom of stellar construction.
