Hundreds of thousands of volunteers have helped to overturn almost a century of galaxy classification, in a new study using data from the longstanding Galaxy Zoo project. The new investigation uses ...

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark., Aug. 11 (UPI) --The Milky Way is one of many disk galaxies with spiral arms, elongated and curved collections of gas and stars that snake outward from a dense galactic center. New ...

Astronomers have found distinct spiral arms in the disk of gas and dust surrounding the young star Elias 2-27. While similar features have been observed on the surfaces of such disks before, this is ...

Recently, scientists discovered the earliest spiral galaxy ever seen — imaging it as it looked when the universe was only two-and-a-half billion years old. They think this galaxy might be one of the ...

For the first time, spiral arms much like those of the Milky Way galaxy have been found embracing a young star. This finding may shed light on the mystery of how planets can form far away from their ...

Scientists have long wondered exactly how spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, get their shape. New observations of a distant galaxy are shedding light on that question. Researchers from the ...

An international team of astronomers has discovered what might be the first evidence of density-driven spiral arms in the gas and dust around a still-forming star. The findings, described in Friday’s ...
