Fluffy strands of cosmic gas and dust illuminated by bright young stars form a beautiful cloudscape in a neighboring nebula.

"It was actually a total surprise to find the satellites in that configuration and we still don’t fully understand why they appear that way." ...

Dozens of dwarf galaxies swarming around the Andromeda Galaxy like bees have been caught on camera by the Hubble Space Telescope, which took more than a thousand orbits of the Earth to take enough ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered 36 new dwarf galaxies around Andromeda and ongoing star formation within them, contradicting previous theories. They appear to undergo unique evolution ...

which will help astronomers to rewind the motions of the entire Andromeda ecosystem billions of years into the past. The Hubble Space Telescope has been operating for over three decades and ...

This is a wide-angle view of the distribution of known satellite galaxies orbiting the large Andromeda galaxy (M31), located 2.5 million light-years away. The Hubble Space Telescope was used to ...

Andromeda XXXV is only about 20,000 times more massive than our Sun—very small, even for a satellite galaxy. For comparison, ...

The Andromeda galaxy, seen here by NASA’s Spitzer space telescope, is the closest large galaxy to the Milky Way — but it seems to have evolved in a much different way, new Hubble data suggests.

"Everything scattered in the Andromeda system is very asymmetric and perturbed. It does appear that something significant happened not too long ago," Weisz said. "Our work has shown that low-mass ...
