Astronomers have discovered two galaxies that are perfectly aligned, allowing their combined gravitational pull to act as a ...

This process won't be complete for many millions of years — until then, Queen Berenice II will have to suffer the knots in ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image depicts the cosmic tangle that is MCG+05-31-045, a pair of interacting galaxies located 390 million light-years away and a part of the Coma galaxy cluster.

According to their study published on arXiv, a team of international astronomers has made a groundbreaking discovery of an ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered an instance of two galaxies aligned in a way where their gravity acts as a compound lens. The group has written a paper describing the findings and ...
