Astronomers at the National Centre for Radio Astrophysics (NCRA-TIFR) based in Pune, India, discovered a spiral galaxy, titled Alaknanda, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Announced in ...

A spiral galaxy, shaped much like our Milky Way, has been found in an era when astronomers believed such well-formed galaxies could not yet exist. Two astronomers from India have identified a ...

Astronomers have observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral galaxy in the early Universe and found that it has important similarities and differences with modern galaxies. This improves our ...

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how ...

Image of the newly discovered spiral galaxy Alaknanda (inset) as observed in the shorter wavelength JWST bands. Several bright galaxies from the foreground Abell 2744 cluster are also seen. A spiral ...

Early in the story of the universe, long before galaxies like the Milky Way were expected to take shape, astronomers have now identified a system that already looks strikingly familiar. Researchers at ...
