This scene of cosmic chaos shows a section of the immense Perseus galaxy cluster, revealing several giant elliptical galaxies ...

By analysing data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (Alma), we identified the birth sites of giant elliptical galaxies. We discovered that local elliptical galaxies can form ...

A photo of the huge elliptical galaxy M87 [left] is compared to its three-dimensional shape as gleaned from meticulous observations made with the Hubble and Keck telescopes [right]. Because the ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy—an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with much ...

ponder that fact that the Andromeda Galaxy is on a collision course with the Milky Way; we’ll eventually merge in about four billion years to become a giant elliptical galaxy. Wishing you clear ...

The Virgo Cluster contains about a thousand galaxies, and spans about ten million light-years. Several giant elliptical galaxies inhabit the central regions of the Virgo Cluster. These giants are ...

This discovery explains how massive galaxy clusters evolved into the dormant, giant elliptical galaxies seen today, shedding light on the co-evolution of black holes and galaxies. Galaxy clusters ...

The dense regions of the universe, like galaxy clusters, aredominated by giant elliptical galaxies—massive, ancient galaxies that consist of old stars. Although the mechanism by which these ...

Figure 1). Figure 2 - Diagram illustrating the process of spheroid formation in distant submillimeter-bright galaxies and its link with the evolution of giant elliptical galaxies in the current ...

A study by astronomers at the University of Southampton is hoping to solve what they are calling an “intergalactic mystery” of how elliptical galaxies were created up to 12 billion years ago.

(TNND) — Astronomers have discovered fast-repeating radio signals coming from a distant "dead" galaxy. This is an unusual ...

For the first time, astronomers have traced a fast radio burst (FRB) to the outskirts of an ancient, dead, elliptical galaxy -- an unprecedented home for a phenomenon previously associated with ...
