Called the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), the project's ultimate goal is baked into its name: take pictures of the event horizon, or point-of-no-return for a black hole.

Astronomers have obtained the most detailed anatomy chart of a monster galaxy located 12.4 billion light-years away, using Chile's Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA).

A Mexican astrophysicist has identified some of the first galaxies in our universe together with a team of researchers.

In one of the largest panoramic views of star birth, astronomers using the ultraviolet vision of NASAs Hubble space telescope have assembled an image that features approximately 15,000 galaxies, about 12,000 of which are forming stars.

For the first time ever astronomers have spotter two rare hyper-luminous starburst galaxies in the near space. It is rare to find even one such galaxy and finding two has left the astronomers in shock and happiness.

Scattered in deep space, galaxies have never been captured in such breathtaking form. NASA's Hubble telescope spotted numerous solar system asteroids photobombing various distant galaxies.

NASA plans to launch on Monday a sounding rocket to study the darks voids in between the stars and galaxies that fill the night sky.

Indian astronomers have discovered a supercluster of galaxies - as big as 20 million billion suns - which they have named it as 'Saraswati'.

A team of astronomers from India has reported the discovery of a large number of extremely rare kind of galaxies called 'giant radio galaxies' (GRGs), the largest galaxies known in the universe.

New findings have raised serious questions over the authenticity of Einstein's gravity theory; researchers have noticed a gigantic ring of galaxies darting away from us much faster than predicted.
