A violent galaxy that shreds its neighbors and throws out their remains leaves wispy trails in the most detailed picture ever taken of the Fornax Cluster, one of the closest galaxy clusters to the ...

Scientists have found evidence that pairs of stars have been kicked out of their host galaxies. This discovery, made using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, is one of the clearest examples ...

Oct. 25 (UPI) --The European Southern Observatory has released a 2.3-gigapixel image of the Fornax Cluster, the second most populous galaxy cluster within 100 million light-years of the Milky Way. The ...

Most observers would admit that, out of all galaxies, barred spirals make the best targets for amateur telescopes. That said, it’s a pity the best example of a barred spiral — NGC 1365 — languishes in ...

Countless galaxies vie for attention in this monster image of the Fornax Galaxy Cluster, some appearing only as pinpricks of light while others dominate the foreground. One of these is the lenticular ...

According to the standard model of cosmology, the vast majority of galaxies are surrounded by a halo of dark matter particles. This halo is invisible, but its mass exerts a strong gravitational pull ...

Holding together The dwarf galaxy NGC1427A is in the Fornax galaxy cluster. Observations of the distortions of the galaxy are not in line with the presence of a dark matter halo. (Courtesy: ESO) A ...

Dwarf galaxies are small, faint galaxies that can usually be found in galaxy clusters or near larger galaxies. Because of this, they might be affected by the gravitational effects of their larger ...
