Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Merging Galaxies in Coma Cluster, 390 Million Light-Years Away
NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) have shared an image of two galaxies, MCG+05-31-045, interacting within the Coma Cluster. Located 390 million light-years away, the pair is in the midst of a cosmic merger. As the smaller galaxy is pulled into the larger one, a new wave of star formation is expected. Over time, the galaxies will likely evolv...

From Total Lunar Eclipse to Jupiter-Mars Conjunction, Watch These Celestial Events in May
The May celestial calendar for looks exciting for skygazers. The month begins and ends with a couple of great planet-spotting opportunities and NASA has shared a full list of those events as part of its monthly, “What's Up” series. The agency called on all moon gazers to mark their calendars for the month's highlight: the next total lunar eclip...

Giant Black Hole Found In An Unlikely Place
Astronomers have uncovered a near-record breaking supermassive black hole, weighing 17 billion Suns, in the centre of a galaxy in a sparsely populated area of the universe, indicating that these monster objects may be more common than once thought.

Dead Galaxies May Be Packed With Dark Matter: Study
Galaxies in a cluster roughly 300 million light years from Earth could contain 100 times more dark matter than visible matter, a new study has found.

Over 800 'Dark Galaxies' Found in Coma Cluster
The ultra-dark galaxies are similar in size to the Milky Way, but have only 1/1,000 of stars that our galaxy does.

Over 800 'Ultra Dark' Galaxies Found
Astronomers have discovered 854 previously hidden 'ultra dark' galaxies that may be filled with mysterious dark matter, in a region known as the Coma Cluster.
