Whoooooo's there? Just a "Cosmic Owl," the latest strange discovery from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).A new study using JWST data has helped scientists spot an owl-faced object peering out at ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a rare 'Cosmic Owl' structure, formed by two colliding ring galaxies, approximately 11 billion light-years away.
The Hubble Classification, also known as the Hubble Sequence, is a widely recognized method for systematically categorizing ...
Advances and the arrival of new technologies have allowed astronomy, the science that studies celestial bodies and phenomena ...
Ring galaxies are some of the rarest galaxies found throughout our universe, and for years scientists have scratched their heads, trying to figure out exactly how these galaxies came to be.
The ring of galaxies, appropriately called the "Big Ring," has a circumference of nearly 4 billion light-years. An intergalactic ring-shaped superstructure of galaxies and galaxy clusters — so ...
An international team of astronomers reports the detection of a peculiar merger of two similar ring galaxies that morphologically resemble an owl's face. The discovery of this galaxy merger ...
The ring of light, known as an Einstein Ring, was discovered in September 2023 by Euclid, a space telescope on a six-year mission to map out the cosmos by observing billions of galaxies. Photos of ...
Ring galaxies – such as the mysterious and famous Hoag's Object – are thought to be the result of a collision in which one galaxy blasts straight through the center of another.
But ring galaxies don't fit into these neat categories. This has led some researchers and citizen scientists to argue that the Hubble sequence — the most widely used method of categorizing ...
