When it comes to star formation, not all galaxies are the same. Some are quenched, meaning they've depleted their star ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has once again unveiled groundbreaking insights into the universe, this time ...

Samsung is updating its midrange phone lineup, with the Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A26 arriving in March ahead of a Galaxy A56 U.S. launch later this year. Here's what to expect from the new phones.

Another edge-on galaxy long studied by astronomers, the Cigar Galaxy or M82, in the constellation Ursa Major, produces 10 times as many stars as are born in the Milky Way galaxy.

These galaxies—which include the Cigar Galaxy M82 and NGC 253—form stars at rates 10 to 100 times faster than normal galaxies, usually triggered by external events, such as galaxy mergers ...

“We believe that the population of magnetars in M82 is quite large, so maybe it's not a coincidence that this event was discovered in this galaxy and not in another one,” says Mereghetti.

M82 is what is called a starburst galaxy, which means that it's forming stars at a rapid clip, with the burst likely to have been triggered by interactions with its neighbors.

A magnetar in galaxy M82 recently sent a huge burst of gamma rays and other radiation blasting out into space. Magnetars are the burned-out, collapsed cores of massive stars, wrapped in the ...

The newfound magnetar, a dense relic of a once-bright star with a remarkably strong magnetic field, resides in the galaxy M82 (dubbed the Cigar Galaxy), roughly 12 million light-years from Earth ...

M82 is described as a ‘starburst galaxy’, which means it is undergoing an extremely high rate of star formation. Researchers looking at M82 believe the galaxy is sprouting new stars 10 times ...

A team of astronomers has used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to survey the starburst galaxy Messier 82 (M82). Located 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major, this galaxy ...
