This iconic Hubble image of the spiral galaxy NGC 1300 is suffused with detail—bright blue young stars, the dust lanes spiraling around the bright nucleus, distant galaxies shining through.

This portrait from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope puts the nearby galaxy NGC 4449 in the spotlight. The galaxy is ...

It lies a short distance away from M102 (NGC 5866), a smaller galaxy that is also, coincidentally, oriented almost exactly edge-on. NGC 5907 is relatively large and bright, shining at magnitude 11 ...

"We have discovered a galaxy that has been 'perfectly preserved' for billions of years, a true archaeological find that tells ...

Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have investigated the galaxy NGC 7793, searching for supernova remnants (SNRs). As a result, they discovered four new X ...

The galaxy sits in a sweet spot that allows astronomers to study it in ways that can't be applied to even our own Milky Way ...

"The Sculptor Galaxy is in a sweet spot. It is close enough that we can resolve its internal structure, but at the same time big enough that we can still see it as a whole system." ...

The Sculptor galaxy is similar in many respects to our Milky Way. It is about the same size and mass, with a similar spiral ...
