"The newly discovered black hole is in a galaxy, NGC 1600, in the opposite part of the sky from the Coma Cluster in a relative desert."

Astronomers have observed the most luminous galaxies ever seen in the universe - objects so bright that the researchers have taken to calli...

Since the cluster is only 500,000 years old, it has one of the highest concentrations of massive, luminous stars in the entire Milky Way.

The super-luminous supernova, called ASAS-SN-15lh, was discovered by the All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae team (ASAS-SN).

A new study using archival data from NASA's Spitzer and Hubble space telescopes has found five similar objects in other galaxies for the fi...

The galaxy belongs to a new class of objects recently discovered by NASA's WISE, nicknamed extremely luminous infrared galaxies, or ELIRGs.

The exceptionally luminous galaxy, EGS-zs8-1, was originally identified based on its particular colours in images from NASA's Hubble and Sp...

A new study demonstrates that large amounts of dark matter exist around us, and also between us and the Galactic centre.
