The spiral galaxy NGC 3596 is viewed face-on in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image that incorporates six different ...

Captured by the VST, NGC 3640 reveals a turbulent history of cosmic cannibalism, but its current companion, NGC 3641, remains ...

The spiral galaxy NGC 3596 is on display in this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image that incorporates six different ...

Rather than solid arms, spiral galaxies may show density waves—regions where matter slows down and bunches up, like cars in ...

Astrophotographer Ron Brecher has captured a stunning deep sky image of the spiral galaxy M106, located 23.5 million light ...

But M106 isn't the only galaxy in this image. "The other prominent galaxy, at the lower left, is NGC 4248," continued ... image cosmic objects ranging from Earth's moon, to monstrous deep sky ...

Arp 184 or NGC 1961, a skewed or "peculiar" spiral galaxy, is still stunning in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA and the European Space Agency recently shared an image of NGC 1961, an oddly shaped spiral galaxy located about 190 million light-years away in the constellation Camelopardalis, or "The Giraffe," ...

Astronomers have developed a computer simulation to explore, in unprecedented detail, magnetism and turbulence in the ...

More than 50 years after its launch, a Soviet spacecraft called Kosmos 482 is about to come crashing back to Earth. It was originally intended to land on the surface of Venus, but it started to ...

While space junk and meteors routinely veer toward a crash-landing on Earth, most of the objects disintegrate as they’re torn apart due to friction and pressure as they hit Earth’s thick ...
