A bright star within our Milky Way galaxy photobombed a beautiful new image of a distant galaxy with "patchy" spiral arms.

A recent image from the Hubble Space Telescope captures a gorgeous spiral galaxy bursting with new star formation.

NASA’s Hubble captures NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy in Virgo with intense star formation and glowing gas clouds.

It's not a particularly large galaxy, but M82 is the quintessential starburst galaxy with its robust rate of star formation. That's why the iconic observatories of the past have spent time probing ...

This galaxy lies some 300 million light-years away from us, and is currently experiencing an extraordinarily high rate of star formation -- a starburst. Normal galaxies produce only a couple of ...

We are investigating galaxies both on and off the star forming main sequence (SFMS) to quantify the role of mergers in enhancing the star formation in starburst galaxies. Using observations taken with ...

NGC 4536 is a starburst galaxy with rapid star formation due to gas compression. Its bar-like structure channels gas toward ...

When Vieira’s team looked for dusty starburst galaxies, they were able to take ... Astronomers want to understand this peak era of star formation because this is when the universe changed ...

At the same time, M94 is also known as a starburst galaxy. Due to its relatively close proximity, astronomers can study the causes of the rapid star formation occurring in M94 in greater detail.

Post-starburst galaxies were previously believed to expel ... revealed that these galaxies actually hold onto and condense star-forming fuel near their centers, and then don’t use it to form ...

NGC 4536 is also considered a starburst galaxy, as it is undergoing an exceptionally high rate of star formation compared to the average rate observed in most other galaxies. The ionized hydrogen ...
