A massive, rotating disk galaxy from the early universe has been discovered by an international team of astronomers. Galaxy DLA0817g, dubbed the "Wolfe Disk" after the late astronomer Arthur M. Wolfe, ...

Astronomers at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian have captured what may be the biggest planet-forming disk ...

In our 13.8 billion-year-old universe, most galaxies like our Milky Way form gradually, reaching their large mass relatively late. But a new discovery made with the Atacama Large ...

Current models of massive galaxy formation suggest that they evolve as part of a slow growth process, gradually increasing in size through mergers with smaller galaxies and the accumulation of clumps ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, discovered a disc of gas and dust around a young star in another galaxy, describing it as a “special moment”. An international team of experts led by Durham ...

The astronomers found evidence by measuring the movement of the dense gas In a remarkable discovery, astronomers have found a rotating disc around a young star in our neighbouring galaxy. The ...

A huge, rotating disc galaxy has been found deep in the universe – and challenges our understanding of galaxies. The disc was formed 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, far earlier than predicted by ...

A colossal disk of ice that looked like something out of this world formed on a river in Maine earlier this week. The city of Westbrook, Maine shared amazing images on Monday of a giant frozen disk ...

Disk rotating detonation engines could provide engines that are 10% more efficient, which could enable hypersonic planes. The USA, China, and Russia will be ramping up hypersonic weapon and hypersonic ...
