Observationally, kilonovae are astrophysical transients powered by the radioactive decay of nuclei heavier than iron, thought to be synthesized in the merger of two compact objects1–4. Over the first few days, the kilonova evolution is dominated by a large number of radioactive isotopes contributing to the heating rate2,5. On timescales of weeks to months, its behaviour is predicted to differ depending on the ejecta composition and the merger remnant6–8. Previous work has sh...

The discovery of a dwarf galaxy, named PEARLSDG, by a team of astronomers led by Tim Carleton from Arizona State University, challenges our understanding of galaxy evolution....

This isolated dwarf galaxy hasn't formed a new star in over one billion years. But it has no interacting neighbours. What quenched it?

Astronomers working with the JWST found a dwarf galaxy they weren't looking for.

Dwarf galaxy PEARLSDG was found by scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. However, its existence goes against established knowledge of galaxy formation.

The James Webb and Hubble space telescopes have combined forces to image a cluster of galaxies 4.3 billion light-years away in one of the most colorful pictures of the universe ever taken.

A new image produced using both the James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope has revealed one of the most detailed views of the universe to date.

Teamwork really does make the dream work.

Sparkling and colorful images of faraway galaxy clusters recently released by NASA show one of the most detailed views of the universe ever taken.

The colorful galaxy clusters are about 4.3 billion light-years away.
