Research Reveals New Details About NGC 5018 Galaxy’s Clusters
A recent study of the NGC 5018 galaxy group, located about 132.5 million light years away in the Virgo constellation, provides new insights into its globular cluster (GC) system. Researchers analysed deep imaging data from the VLT Survey Telescope, revealing thousands of GC candidates, with a significant concentration around NGC 5018 itself. The st...

NSF NOIRLab's Dark Energy Camera Showcases Stunning View of Antlia Cluster’s Galaxies
The Antlia Cluster, located approximately 130 million light-years away in the Antlia constellation, has been imaged in remarkable detail by the Dark Energy Camera. This cluster, home to over 230 galaxies, features a variety of types including lenticular, irregular, and dwarf galaxies. Observations suggest that the two dominant elliptical galaxies, ...

Astronomers Uncover New Details of CIZA0107 Galaxy Cluster Merger with VLA
A team of astronomers, led by Emma Schwartzmann from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, used the Very Large Array (VLA) to study the nearby galaxy cluster merger CIZA J0107.7+5408 (CIZA0107). The observations provided new insights into the dynamics of galaxy mergers, revealing a disturbed system with two subclusters and diffuse radio emission span...

James Webb and Chandra Capture Images of Star Clusters in Distant Galaxies
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory have unveiled stunning new images of two star clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud. NGC 602, located approximately 200,000 light-years from Earth, showcases active star formation, with dust clouds and ionised gas revealing unique stellar birth conditions. Meanwhile, NGC 2264 featur...

NASA’s Webb Telescope Reveals Firefly Sparkle, a Milky Way-Like Galaxy
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured the Firefly Sparkle galaxy, existing 600 million years after the Big Bang. This rare discovery showcases a galaxy similar in mass to the Milky Way during its early years. Unprecedented details were revealed using gravitational lensing and infrared imaging, highlighting 10 distinct star clusters within Fir...

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...

Hubble Space Telescope Unveils IC 3225, the Cannonball Galaxy in Virgo
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a remarkable image of the spiral galaxy IC 3225, which resembles a cannonball moving through space. Located approximately 100 million light-years away in the Virgo galaxy cluster, IC 3225 exhibits distinct features, including a bright, star-forming arm and a tail of gas. The galaxy's unusual shape results fro...

James Webb Telescope Reveals Massive Westerlund 1 Super Star Cluster Hidden in Milky Way’s Dust
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled Westerlund 1, the Milky Way’s largest super star cluster, located 12,000 light-years away in the constellation Ara. This massive cluster, with stars up to 2,000 times larger than the Sun, has a total mass between 50,000 to 100,000 times that of the Sun. Previously hidden by cosmic dust, Westerlun...

NASA's Hubble Telescope Spots Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Leaving Behind Trail of Newborn Stars
A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US. Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was se...
