Image: Snapshots of the time evolution of a collision of two spiral galaxies with black holes at their center from a computer simulation. Color indicates temperature and brightness the gas density.

A new simulation released by NASA’s Ames Research Institute reveals a stunning vision of the evolution of a galaxy. Blue influx gases, white stars and red satellite galaxies are shown moving thousands ...

New simulations of Milky Way-like galaxies reveal that the strange split between two chemically distinct groups of stars may arise from several very different evolutionary events. Bursts of star ...

In collaboration with the US' Georgia Institute of Technology, researchers from Maynooth University in Ireland have unveiled a new computer simulation that mirrors early universe conditions, ...

Enabled by supercomputing, University of Pretoria (UP) researchers have led an international team of astronomers that has provided deeper insight into the entire life cycle (birth, growth and death) ...

The stars in our galaxy exhibit a curious chemical division, but is this the norm in the Universe? A recent study shows that ...

In between all the stars in our galaxy, there is a vast, diffuse mix of gas and dust known as the interstellar medium — and scientists have developed a new computer model to explore the magnetism and ...

New simulations reveal that the Milky Way’s odd split between two chemically distinct groups of stars isn’t a universal galactic rule—it's just one of many possible evolutionary paths. By recreating ...

Artist's conception of early starbursting galaxies. UC Davis astronomers collaborated on new simulations showing how bright galaxies could emerge early in the universe. Stars and galaxies are shown in ...

This animation shows the simulated evolution of a galaxy over 200 million years. While the simulations look very similar with and without the machine learning AI model, the AI model performed 4 times ...

With a gravitational field so strong that not even light can escape its grip, black holes are probably the most interesting and bizarre objects in the universe. Black holes are usually formed from the ...
