Astronomers have discovered an unusual galaxy, CDG-2, which is composed almost entirely of dark matter and contains virtually no stars. This discovery is significant for studying the nature of dark galaxies and the mysteries of dark matter.
Astronomers have discovered 164 mysterious ring-shaped structures within the plane of the Milky Way, whose origins remain unknown. Some of these rings are visible only in the radio spectrum, and research into their nature is ongoing.
Astronomers have, for the first time, closely tracked the birth of a massive star, uncovering a complex system of gas flows and structures that regulate its growth. This discovery sheds light on how giant stars form and explains why their emergence takes hundreds of thousands of years.
Astronomers have discovered that tiny "little red dots" may represent an early stage in the evolution of blue, dust-rich galaxies. This finding helps trace the life cycle of massive galaxies in the Universe.
