Astronomers may have "saved cosmology" by gathering the largest sample yet of some of the most ancient galaxies ever seen, the so-called "little red dots" observed by the James Webb Space ...

This is a clear sign of a flattened cloud of gas and dust called an accretion disk feeding a supermassive black hole in a central ... explanation could be the "inside-out" growth of galaxies.

Astronomers compile a large sample of an unusual class of objects in an effort to connect the dots to the early universe.

The initial findings offer novel perspectives on the relationship between star formation and the evolution of galaxies.

At the centers of both, I find not supermassive black holes, but rather towering abstract paintings. And that's because I'm not just inside any old virtual reality exhibit. I'm exploring VR ...
