This image shows five newly discovered superstructures. Quipu (red) is the largest structure ever found in the universe. The others are Shapley (blue), Serpens-Corona Borealis (green), Hercules ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

The studied galaxy existed about 930 million years ago after the Big Bang. Even though this might sound like a long time ago, in universe terms this is not ...

Astronomers have revealed the largest known structure in the universe, which is made up of not only clusters of galaxies but also clusters of these clusters that form a gravitationally interacting ...

In a rare glimpse at such an object, astronomers discovered a structure thought to be a “protocluster” of galaxies on its way to developing into a galaxy supercluster. Even galaxies don’t like to be ...
