How Galaxy Mergers Can Bridge The Stellar Age Gap in Spiral Arms
Can galaxy interactions help young and old stars in spiral arms get to know each other? These authors’ simulations may have an answer!
Are Spiral Galaxies Older than We Thought?
Today’s paper uses JWST to show that there are more spiral galaxies in the early universe than we previously expected.
Galaxies so crooked they could hide behind a spiral staircase
Did a galaxy ever lie to you? Likely not. But they can be crooked on a whole other level. In today’s bite, find out how the authors found a way to exploit the galaxy’s skewness to their advantage.

JWST reveals the strange and starry secrets within the heart of the Phantom Galaxy
Red Spirals
JWST is currently revealing many previously unseen or undiscovered properties of our Universe. Even in the very first image released, three red spiral galaxies, which are super rare in our local Universe, can now be seen and analyzed down to structural details as never before. What can these weird galaxies tell us about the so-called cosmic noon and the evolution of galaxy formation?
A spiral galaxy that doesn’t play by the rules
Galaxies in the middle of clusters are usually huge, elliptical galaxies. So what is this spiral-shaped imposter doing here?
