Galaxies may not be as simple as "young and blue" or "old and red." A new idea from astrophysicist Charles Steinhardt proposes a third type: red star-forming galaxies that break the mold. These galaxi ...

Our new study of the nearby starburst galaxy Haro 11 has shown that strong X-ray-emitting superwinds may be a key mechanism ...

Astronomer Charles Steinhardt said most stars we see "might have formed under different conditions than we previously believed." ...

A bright star within our Milky Way galaxy photobombed a beautiful new image of a distant galaxy with "patchy" spiral arms.

The universe doesn't come with an instruction manual—but if it did, University of Missouri Assistant Professor Charles ...

The Hubble space telescope recently captured a beautifully detailed view of NGC 4526, one of the so-called starburst galaxies within Virgo. SEE ALSO: These images show the spectacular results of a ...

An extreme protocluster gathering of infant galaxies is hiding a vast cosmic fuel tank that is powering 400 million years of ...

Post-starburst galaxies were previously believed to expel all of their molecular gas, a behavior that caused them to stop forming stars. New observations have revealed that these galaxies actually ...
