The first galaxies were already busy by the time the universe was 700 to 800 million years old. Stars were forming fast.

This gas led to the formation of stars and expansion of galaxies during the early stages of the Universe. A new study by an ...

A distant galaxy nicknamed Shadow Blaster may have revealed a surprising source of cosmic neutrinos: extreme star formation instead of a supermassive black hole. The discovery suggests that hidden, ...

In the early universe, the first galaxies began to take shape roughly a million years after the Big Bang. Within these young systems, stars formed from vast reservoirs of cold gas, gradually building ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer ...

Using radio and infrared telescopes, astronomers have obtained a first tantalizing look at a crucial early stage in star formation. The new observations promise to help scientists understand the early ...

The findings could help solve the mystery of how the first stars formed. The roughly four-billion-year-old system consists of a black hole and two orbiting stars—a configuration that's never been seen ...

During the early universe, galaxy and star formation was at an all-time high. A mere few hundred million years after the Big Bang, nearly half of the stars that have ever existed had already formed.
