Current models of massive galaxy formation suggest that they evolve as part of a slow growth process, gradually increasing in size through mergers with smaller galaxies and the accumulation of clumps ...

In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made with the Atacama Large ...

A massive, rotating disk galaxy from the early universe has been discovered by an international team of astronomers. Galaxy DLA0817g, dubbed the "Wolfe Disk" after the late astronomer Arthur M. Wolfe, ...

A huge, rotating disc galaxy has been found deep in the universe – and challenges our understanding of galaxies. The disc was formed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier than predicted by ...
