Galaxies are the building blocks of the universe. Clusters of galaxies, and clusters of clusters of galaxies, called superclusters, make up the structures in the geography of the universe.

Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies located relatively close to Earth; these galaxies exist in a near-perfect alignment, resembling a string of cosmic pearls in the sky.

Astronomers have discovered an extremely rare group of five 'dwarf' galaxies that are 'interacting with each other' about 117 million light years away from Earth Dwarf galaxies contain a few ...

Scientists have investigated the properties of globular clusters (GCs) to identify those belonging to the tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), a satellite galaxy to ...

Leo P, a dwarf galaxy some 5.3 million light years from Earth, was discovered by McQuinn and other scientists in 2013. The celestial structure is far enough away from the Local Group, a clump of ...

Sculptor A, one of three newly discovered dwarf galaxies - and unrelated to the well-known Sculptor spiral galaxy - is visible here as a faint accumulation of stars beyond several bright stars in ...

Molecular clouds with low metal content, located in the Galactic outer disk and nearby metal-poor dwarf galaxies, show a notable deficiency in their turbulent support against self-gravity.

Canis Major Dwarf: Located in the located in the Canis Major constellation, this dwarf irregular galaxy is the closest to our Milky Way, located at an approximate distance of about 25,000 light ...

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies are the faintest type of galaxy in the universe. Typically containing just a few hundred to a thousand stars—compared with the hundreds of billions that make up the ...

According to traditional wisdom, smaller galaxies such as the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud may have fewer opportunities to attract mass and merge with smaller systems, including other dwarf ...
