By studying how light from eight distant quasars is gravitationally lensed as it propagates towards Earth, astronomers have ...

JWST observations of galaxy cluster MACS J1149 show gravitational lensing used by CANUCS to study distant low-mass galaxies across a wide range of cosmic time.

The "Cosmic Grapes" galaxy formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang, revealing a never-before-seen structure.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A photo of Molly Lensing, taken without her permission, first went viral years ago. The Illinois mom says the image continued to ...

Imagine looking through space and seeing a super-bright supernova that you weren’t expecting to see. Then, after taking measurements, you come to the conclusion that the supernova is way brighter than ...

A group of astronomers have made history by capturing an image of a record number of stars from a time when the universe was half its age. The astronomers detected 44 stars in the "Dragon Arc" galaxy, ...
