New ALMA observations push back the epoch of massive-galaxy formation even further by identifying two giant galaxies seen when the universe was only 780 million years old, or about 5 percent its current age.
Duo of Titanic Galaxies Captured in Extreme Starbursting Merger
Astronomers using ALMA have discovered two rarely seen, distant galaxies spiraling in toward each other.
IMAGE RELEASE: Shocking Results of Galaxy-Cluster Collisions
A giant collision of galaxy clusters has produced a spectacular panorama of shocks and energy produced by the violent encounters.
VLBA Measurement Promises Complete Picture of Milky Way
A new record for directly measuring distances within our home Galaxy gives astronomers the ability to finally produce an accurate map of the whole extent of the Milky Way.
Star-formation ‘Fuel Tanks’ Found around Distant Galaxies
Using ALMA, astronomers studied six distant starburst galaxies and discovered that five of them are surrounded by turbulent reservoirs of hydrogen gas, the fuel for future star formation.
VLA Reveals Distant Galaxy’s Magnetic Field
VLA observations of distant galaxy provide important new clues about how magnetic fields originate and influence the development of galaxies.
