Our Milky Way Galaxy is one of three large galaxies in the Local Group of Galaxies. The other large galaxies are the Andromeda Galaxy, and Messier 33 (the 33rd entry in Charles Messier's catalog ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has zoomed in on Leo P, a tiny galaxy with some big things to say about star formation.

The researchers used observations from the Gaia and Hubble space telescopes to get estimates of the masses, movements and gravitational interactions of the four largest Local Group galaxies.

This supercluster appears along the direction of motion of the Local Group of galaxies (where we live). Because of that, scientists speculated that it could be influencing our galaxy's peculiar ...

Isolated, low-mass galaxies help researchers study the impact of reionization on their star formation histories (SFHs) ...

An international team of researchers has found dark matter dominating the halos of two supermassive black holes in galaxies ...

113, No. 784, June 2001 Spectroscopy of Massive Stars in NGC 682... ABSTRACT We present blue spectra of massive stars in the Local Group galaxies NGC 6822 and M33. For all the targets, selected from ...

A bouquet of thousands of stars in bloom has arrived. This composite image contains the deepest X-ray image ever made of the ...

Astronomers have identified what they believe to be the largest structure in the universe to date. Named "Quipu" after the ancient Incan method of record-keeping, this colossal superstructure ...

Galaxies are ordered into galaxy groups, which are in turn organised into clusters. The Earth is in a galaxy called the Milky Way, which is in the Local Group in the Virgo Supercluster.
