A new photo from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows two star clusters that appear to be in the early stages of merging. The colliding clusters are 170,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic ...

New observations of a pair of colliding spiral galaxies hint at what might be in store for the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy if and when they collide. The findings, described in July in the ...

For the first time, astronomers have been able to combine the deepest optical images of the universe, obtained by the Hubble Space Telescope, with equally sharp images in the near-infrared part of the ...

Second only to black holes, neutron stars – incredibly dense star remnants – are the densest objects in the universe. When neutron stars collide, they create ripples in the fabric of space and time in ...

Although it looks a bit like an eerie, floating face suspended in space, the optical illusion spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope is really the result of two galaxies colliding. Hubble took the ...

Astronomers have captured a new image of two spiral galaxies locked in the early stages of a collision and merger. The Gemini ...

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 ...

Two colliding galaxies have been found to be reorganizing their dwarf satellites, potentially solving a major conundrum plaguing the standard model of cosmology. When you purchase through links on our ...
