Structures known as "zippers" and "twisters" in the early universe may explain why dwarf galaxies tend to line up with each other, as well as hint at how dark matter operates in the universe. When you ...

JWST has identified nine distant, compact galaxies that do not fit existing categories, raising new questions about how galaxies formed in the early Universe.

For decades, scientists have used the Milky Way as a model for understanding how galaxies form. But three new studies raise questions about whether the Milky Way is truly representative of other ...
