The European Space Agency's Euclid mission—designed to map the geometry of the dark universe with unprecedented precision—continues to deliver its first scientific insights. The Euclid Consortium has ...

Subjective classification of galaxies can mislead us in the quest for the formation and evolution of galaxies since this is necessarily limited to a few features. The human mind is unable to ...

The galaxy evolution group at RIT investigates numerous questions related to our cosmic origins, such as how galaxies formed and evolved over time, what drives star formation and subsequent quenching ...

Astronomers have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to ultra-wide field-of-view images of the distant Universe captured by the Subaru Telescope, and have achieved a very high accuracy for finding ...

Edwin Hubble, born November 20, 1889, made seminal observations in 1923 of the Andromeda Galaxy and a Cepheid variable, which significantly broadened the understanding of other galaxies and the ...

Researchers at UC Santa Cruz have developed a powerful new computer program called Morpheus that can analyze astronomical image data pixel by pixel to identify and classify all of the galaxies and ...

Back when the Universe was new, following the Big Bang some 13.8 billion years ago, galaxies took a bit of time to assemble themselves from the surrounding primordial soup. A new discovery right at ...
