"To see thin stellar disks already in place 8 billion years ago, or even earlier, was surprising." Astronomers taken on the role of cosmic archeologists, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to ...

The figures illustrate the revealed sequential disk formation in this study: thick disk only galaxies dominate the early epochs (bottom panel), while galaxies exhibiting both thin and thick disks ...

V Sagittae’s violent mass transfer hints at an imminent nova—and a future supernova visible from Earth. Binary star systems are fairly common in the universe, as are pairs where one star is a compact ...
