For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much younger galaxies.

Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter will align within the elliptical plane, offering a striking celestial display. This rare alignment is linked with significant astrological energy, potentially affecting emotions and relationships.

"Because it's such a large supermassive black hole at the center, we'd predicted we'd see an elliptical galaxy." The spiral host galaxy, a quasar named J0742+2704, was discovered emanating a ...

Rethinking the Underlying Trigger of Quasar Jets Building on the groundbreaking 2020 discovery of newborn jets in several quasars, the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed that one of the quasar host galaxies has an unexpected spiral shape.

New research suggests that a massive, unidentified object might have passed through our Solar System billions of years ago, leaving a lasting imprint on the orbits of our planets. This intriguing hypothesis,

Pinpointing a Milepost Marker Star that Opened the Realm of Galaxies At the dawn of the 20th century, astronomers faced a cosmic puzzle. The night sky was dotted with more than 100 nebulous objects cataloged in the late 1700s by French astronomer Charles Messier.

In the years following the launch of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have tallied over 1 trillion galaxies in the universe. But only one galaxy stands out as the most important nearby stellar island to our Milky Way -- the magnificent Andromeda galaxy (Messier 31).

Our galaxy, while not small, isn't nearly as big as Andromeda. We harbor some 100 to 400 billion stars. One day, however, the two galaxies may collide, forming a giant, egg-shaped elliptical galaxy.

"Andromeda looks like a transitional type of galaxy that's between a star-forming spiral and a sort of elliptical galaxy dominated by aging red stars," said Weisz. "We can tell it's got this big ...
