A new image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a small dwarf galaxy called IC 3430 that’s located 45 million light-years away. This galaxy is classified as both a dwarf galaxy, because of its small ...

Contained within a small galaxy located 5.3 million light-years away are big clues about how stars can form. In fact, scientists didn't really expect that stars would even be able to still form at all ...

A nearby dwarf galaxy poses an intriguing mystery: How is it able to form brilliant star clusters without the dusty, gas-rich environments found in larger galaxies? The answer, astronomers believe, ...

Astronomers have discovered a rare group of five dwarf galaxies located relatively close to Earth; these galaxies exist in a near-perfect alignment, resembling a string of cosmic pearls in the sky.

Astrophysicists for the first time have calculated the original mass and size of a dwarf galaxy that was shredded in a collision with the Milky Way billions of years ago. Reconstructing the original ...

Astronomers have just discovered two dwarf galaxy candidates orbiting our galaxy. The orientation of these entities suggests there could be up to 500 similar stellar clusters circling the Milky Way, ...

A new study of diffuse dwarf galaxies is challenging the prevailing galaxy formation model within the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) framework, leading to a proposed new model of dark matter.
