A stronomers report the discovery of a truly incredible object. They are calling it Candidate Dark Galaxy-2 (CDG-2), a somewhat humdrum name for something truly incredible, a galaxy made almost ...

Astronomers discover galaxy CDG-2 that's 99% dark matter using Hubble, Euclid, and Subaru telescopes working together to ...

Globular clusters are ancient, spherical groups of stars that are often as old as the galaxies they orbit. The stars in a globular cluster orbit the center of mass of the cluster, and the angular ...

Astronomers working with the Hubble Space Telescope have identified a nearly invisible galaxy in the Perseus Cluster that appears to consist almost entirely of dark matter. Designated Candidate Dark ...

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has identified thousands of more than 5 billion years old globular clusters in the Virgo cluster of galaxies. One of the results of these discoveries led ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped a pair of "dazzlingly different" images of a brilliant star cluster some 160,000 light years away. Globular cluster NGC 1850, in the constellation Dorado, is ...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered what astronomers are reporting as the dimmest stars ever seen in any globular star cluster. Globular clusters are spherical concentrations of hundreds of ...

The James Webb Space Telescope may be hogging the headlines but that's not stopping Hubble from churning out impressive images. ESA/Hubble & NASA, R. Cohen SHARE With all of the hullabaloo about the ...

The globular cluster Terzan 2 in the constellation Scorpio is featured in this observation from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. Globular clusters are stable, tightly gravitationally bound ...
