Using ESA's Gaia satellite, astronomers have investigated three open clusters in the galactic disk, namely Berkeley 17, 18 ...

JWST observations of galaxy cluster MACS J1149 show gravitational lensing used by CANUCS to study distant low-mass galaxies across a wide range of cosmic time.

When studying local galaxy cluster Abell 3667, Anthony Englert GS, a Ph.D. candidate in physics, noticed something unique. Connecting the brightest galaxies in two small clusters within Abell 3667 was ...

One of the hallmarks of the midwinter Colorado sky is the presence of a comparatively large number of stellar groupings, which are called “open” or galactic star clusters. Unlike the globular clusters ...

When astronomers imaged the distant galactic cluster Abell 2255 in unprecedented detail, they found hints of powerful physical phenomena. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The history of how stars and galaxies came to be and evolved into the present day remains among the most challenging astrophysical questions to solve yet, but new research brings us closer to ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered a surprisingly mature galaxy protocluster from the infancy of the universe. Galaxy clusters are among the largest-scale structures in the universe.
