For centuries, scientists have puzzled over globular clusters, the dense star systems that orbit galaxies without dark matter ...

Traditionally, black holes are usually thought to "reside" at the centers of galaxies. However, a research team led by Dr. An ...

Chris Schur, taken form Happy Jack, Arizona While the Andromeda Galaxy is the closest major galaxy to the Milky Way, the irregular dwarf galaxy NGC 6822 - also known as Barnard's Galaxy - is our ...

Ursa Major III, previously classified as a dwarf spheroidal galaxy due to its high mass, is proposed to be a compact star cluster located 32,600 light-years from the Milky Way. The research team ...

Only a fraction of the size of the Milky Way, these galaxies have thus far been too faint for most telescopes to spot.

The Antlia dwarf galaxy, recently found to be a possible local Group member, is analyzed using VI photometry. The galaxy is resolved into a large number of stars and although the galaxy is ...
